What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to bring ideas to life through 3D art, collaborate with others, explore new tools and techniques, and solve production challenges efficiently.

I've modeled props, accessories, and characters for IMC Toys brands including Lucky Bob, Cry Babies, VIP Pets, and Bloopies, while solving toy design challenges and producing prototypes through 3D printing.

I've also built a Blender Asset Browser for El Guiri Studios, supported student 3D animation projects at La Salle Barceloneta, and now teach beginner Blender modeling online.
