## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build intuitive AR/VR, interactive 3D, and product experiences where I can combine product discovery, industrial design, UI/UX, business strategy, and cross-functional execution.
```

## About

```text
I am experienced in Game Art production, Mocap Cleaning And Unreal Movie Pipelines. Currently I work as a Industrial Designer working on Unmanned Aircraft Design & closely associated with mechanical, aerodynamics, and electronics teams in the development. My role spans ideation, concept development, 3D modeling, product visualization, design communication, and marketing, allowing me to contribute from the early stages of an idea through to its visual and physical development.
My foundation in 3D comes from experience across product visualization, animation, modeling, texturing, lighting, mocap cleanup, real time asset creation, and optimization. I have worked on game asset creation, commercial visual production, and real time pipelines using Blender, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Unity, and Unreal Engine.
This experience has given me a strong understanding of both creative execution and technical constraints, including efficient topology, realistic lighting, engine ready assets, and performance focused workflows.
Moving into industrial design has allowed me to take that 3D experience further by applying it to physical products and engineering driven design. I enjoy working at the intersection of 3D, industrial design, engineering, and visual storytelling.

If you see a practical opportunity where our work could align, feel free to reach out and explore how we can work together.
