What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead digital-twin and visualization projects, collaborate with architects/engineers, and deliver immersive, real-time design solutions.

I am a Digital Twin Specialist and Product Designer with over 15 years of experience in 3D modeling, architectural visualization, and digital design. I create high-impact digital representations using real-time engines and BIM-integrated workflows.

Throughout my career I have led visualization projects for architectural and real estate clients, developed product designs and brand identities for sports gear, and produced CAD drawings, animations, and factory simulations to support engineering teams.

My technical toolkit includes Rhino, 3ds Max, Unreal Engine, Unity 3D, Twinmotion, AutoCAD, and the Adobe Creative Suite, enabling me to deliver detailed, immersive visual assets and operational simulations.

I value clear client communication, reliable project delivery, and solutions that blend design aesthetics with practical, real-time functionality to support architecture, emergency response, and e-commerce objectives.
