What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead 3D teams building scalable product visualization and real-time configurator pipelines—partnering with developers and stakeholders to deliver photoreal results, strong QA, and smooth production handoff.

I’m a Lead 3D Artist and 3D Visualization Specialist with 10+ years of experience delivering product visualization, architectural visualization, real-time configurators, photoreal rendering, animation, and interactive 3D production.

I lead artists and set both visual and technical direction—building scalable pipelines and partnering with developers, designers, engineers, and stakeholders to deliver complex visual systems that hold up from asset creation through production handoff.

Recently, I’ve focused on configurable product experiences for marine brands, including 2D and 3D builders, real-time asset systems, option logic, quality assurance, production handoff, and AI-assisted workflows (including ComfyUI automation for image generation and production tasks).

Before that, I delivered photoreal architectural renderings and animations for client presentations, produced Dyson product visualization stills and animations across marketing formats, and converted CAD data into optimized real-time GLB/glTF assets for web, Unreal Engine, and VR. I started as an architectural photographer and photo editor, and I bring that strong eye for photography, post-production, and rendering into every pipeline I build.
