Marina Hackel

I’m a 3D Artist delivering photorealistic interior and exterior models and renderings that help clients bring design intent to life. As a freelancer based in California, I create high-quality 3D models for interior design use, company websites, and marketplaces—built to deadlines and to the highest standard.

I work deeply in the details that make renderings feel real: high-quality texturing and lighting, accurate representation of design intent, and consistent quality across multiple projects. I use 3ds Max with Corona Renderer to produce clear, compelling visuals for architectural and real estate clients.

Before focusing fully on 3D production, I developed a strong client-facing and solution-building foundation as a Knowledge Manager/Account Manager at CogniCor Technologies. I implemented and maintained financial domain knowledge for an Interactive Digital Assistant, including designing the knowledge structure, ingesting and aligning content, and continually fine-tuning and testing the system for more accurate responses.

Earlier roles at IBM and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services strengthened my execution under strict timelines, cross-team collaboration, and problem-solving discipline. I’ve led trainings and demos for stakeholders, improved business processes, and even reduced client technical issue resolution time by 50–70% through better work instructions—experience I bring into my rendering workflow today.
