I am a 3D and Motion Graphic Artist. I specialize in hard surface modeling, texturing, rendering, lighting, and animation. I also create 2d/3d motion graphics such as logo animations, and graphics for brand videos. I have also garnered video and music editing skills to give videos an added layer of life and interest. I am open to working in any realm whether it is film, television, gaming, or social media. This is my hobby and career, and I enjoy it very much. But I also enjoy motor sports events, hiking, traveling, and attending concerts. My clients enjoy my easy going nature, attention to detail, and enthusiasm to create. I look forward to working with you! Please have a look at my portfolio link. Thank you!

Projects

Living Room Still Life

Modeled in Maya. Lighting, texturing, and rendering also done in Maya using Renderman. This was mainly done as an exercise for creating natural lighting and realism. See More

F132

This is a 3D model of the real-life custom Formula 1 inspired 1932 Ford originally designed by artist Aaron Beck and brought to life by James Schwartz. I modeled this vehicle from scratch in Maya, as well as the textures, lighting, and rendering.See More

3D Logo Animation

This is a reimagined logo done for a small CrossFit gym, along with a logo animation to be used on their social media channels. All modeling, lighting, animation, and rendering was done in Cinema 4D. See More

The Grim Knight Batmobile

This is a 3D modeling passion project. This is my own version of the Batmobile. But in a twist, instead of using the typical Batman character I used the lesser known Grim Knight version of the character. I loved the idea of a “bad guy” viscous, blood thirsty version of Batman. So I portrayed that into the vehicle. All modeling, lighting, and rendering was done in Maya. Textures were created in Substance 3D Painter. See More

Take 5 Oil Change Graphics

This is one of the slides used at Take 5’s company conference. I am responsible for all created graphics. Which were done in After Effects. See More
