About
My work sits at the intersection of two practices: 3D visualization for industrial, automotive and architectural clients, and custom furniture and interior design through my own studio.
For the past 9+ years, I've built photorealistic renders and technical animations from CAD data, working with complex assemblies, exploded views, and material-accurate finishes for engineering presentations and marketing use, primarily under NDA for Tier-1 clients.
In parallel, I design and deliver custom furniture, built-ins, and full interior environments, overseeing everything from client requirements, 3D modeling, and CMF (color, material, finish) specification to fabrication oversight and on-site installation.
Both practices draw on an Industrial Design background, and both rely on the same core skill: translating technical or spatial requirements into accurate, well-communicated visual outcomes, whether the deliverable is an engineering-grade render or a finished physical space.
