Pedro Oliveira
@pedro_oliveira
Former architect and currently 3D Designer, bringing a deep understanding of how space, light, and materiality shape human experience.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
At Studio Monoliths, I build digital atmospheres through composition, lighting setup, rendering, project management, and collaborative creative direction. I also work as a freelance 3D designer for Character Studio.
After 10 years in architecture, including founding PPP and leading projects from concept to completion, I transitioned into 3D design and digital visualization. My architectural background shapes how I approach space, light, materiality, client relationships, and precise visual outcomes.
I enjoy collaborating with artists, designers, CEOs, and founders, drawing on art and design references to create a unique outcome for every project.
