About
I help turn product ideas, reference drawings, and existing CAD models into clean 3D models and photorealistic images for presentations, websites, and marketing. I am the Founder & Designer at Zozo Lab, an industrial designer, visualization specialist, and 3D modeler available for part-time, remote, project-based work.
Services I offer:
- Product and hard-surface 3D modeling from sketches, drawings, dimensions, or reference images
- CAD model cleanup, refinement, and preparation for visualization
- Photorealistic product renders: white-background packshots, detail views, material/color variants, and contextual hero images
- Materials, lighting, camera setup, and automotive visualization
My tools include Rhino, Autodesk Alias / Alias AutoStudio, Fusion 360, Blender, and Shapr3D for modeling; KeyShot, Autodesk VRED, Unreal Engine, and Adobe Substance 3D Painter for visualization and materials; and Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro, InDesign, Vizcom, and Midjourney for supporting visual development and presentation.
I hold a BFA in Transportation Design from the College for Creative Studies (2026) and a Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Design from Guilin Institute of Information Technology (2021). My design and visualization projects include an Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Alias NURBS recreation focused on surface continuity and highlight quality, the Long Way Home automotive visualization project, and the modular IKEA FIKA cargo-bike concept.
For a quote, share your reference images or CAD files, required views, image resolution, and deadline. We can agree on the modeling scope, render count, revision rounds, and source-file deliverables before work begins.
