About

I'm a 3D modeler and digital sculptor with over 7 years of experience, specialized in jewelry: rings, pendants, earrings, signets and custom one-off pieces, built from a sketch, a reference photo, or just a written idea.

My work is fully digital. I deliver two things, and I deliver them clean:

PRINT-READY FILES — Watertight STL/3MF geometry with correct wall thickness, controlled stone seats and prong tolerances, and models scaled to real ring sizes, so your printer or caster doesn't have to repair anything before running the job.

PHOTOREALISTIC RENDERS — Studio product shots with accurate metals (yellow, white and rose gold, platinum, silver) and gemstones, ready for your webshop, catalog, or client approval.

Where I add the most value is on organic and sculptural work: florals, animals, filigree, figurative and highly detailed designs that parametric CAD struggles with. I sculpt those, then hand off files that are as manufacturable as anything built in traditional CAD.

How I work:
- I ask the right questions up front (metal, stone sizes, ring size, target weight, print or cast) so there are no surprises at the end.
- You get a preview render for approval before I finalize the production file.
- Two rounds of revisions are included in every project.
- Files delivered in STL, 3MF, OBJ, FBX or glTF, whatever your pipeline needs.

I'm based in Spain and work remotely with clients worldwide. I overlap with US business hours and reply to messages the same day.
