3D Work
My 3D modeling experience includes building environments and digital doubles of areas like downtown Las Vegas and visualizing the design of pedestrian-friendly urban spaces for interactive presentations, agency approvals, and land development initiatives. I've also developed 3D environments and content for software used in the airline industry, applications on Google Play, and spaces for the Metaverse. I am well versed with software such as Maya, 3ds Max, Zbrush, Subtance Painter, and more, in addition to being an expert with 3-dimensional modeling with Autocad and Rhino.
Higher Orbits
As an active and engaged volunteer with Higher Orbits since 2016, I've supported their mission to encourage STEM/STEAM among students. I've delivered numerous flyers, brochures, merchandise materials, patches, awards, slide decks/presentations, sponsorship graphics, and more--some of which are displayed here. I was grateful to receive their Outstanding Volunteer Award for 2020.
Leonardo da Vinci 360-Degree Interactive Educational Environment
I utilized industry-leading graphic, web programming, and 3D software, including Dreamweaver, WebGL, JavaScript, and Unreal Engine, to construct 360-degree interactive, responsive web and mobile educational environments with AI voice-simulated text-to-speech software to deliver a more meaningful experience. In this example, users can discover Leonardo da Vanci's work in the virtual workshop with a simple but visually appealing and engaging user interface to learn about his mark on invention and history.
JavaBeen Website
I leveraged the power of JavaScript, CSS, HTML, JQuery, and Bootstrap to deliver this responsive and accessible site for web and mobile devices focused on Javabeen's Coffee Shop brand and guidelines. I worked to create a sophisticated modern design evoking the spirit behind the brand and coffee experience while applying design patterns and mobile UX/UI principles.
Star Trek Interactive Magazine
Harnessing the advanced capabilities of Adobe InDesign's digital publishing tools, I transformed a static web-based article into a dynamic, multi-media interactive experience. This revamped version is enriched with navigation, embedded video content, and immersive sound elements, allowing for engaging content delivery. The result was an interactive digital piece that actively involved the audience, making the content informative but also captivating and interactive.
Pasta Amore
I designed these menus and a table tent focused on the Pasta Amore brand and its classic Italian charm. The designs emphasized dynamic compositions with enticing food presentation, balancing aesthetics and functionality. The table tent effectively showcased specials, contributing to an enhanced dining experience. By focusing on the brand and its goals, I worked to deliver concise design solutions that elevated the customer experience.
Magazine Covers
I created two distinctive magazine covers featuring the Muppets, each tailored to a different audience using Adobe InDesign. The first cover, aimed at tech-savvy adults, blended the playful charm of the Muppets with sleek, modern type, intersecting technology and entertainment. For the second, designed for children, I used a dynamic layout and vector artwork to engage and delight a younger audience--each to demonstrate adaptable style and content to suit diverse demographics.
3D Website
3tod.com, a personal project in development, aims to provide a resource and community hub for 3D content creators. The site prioritizes responsive design for optimal user experience across devices and straightforward navigation to ensure ease of use. While emphasizing high-quality content, it's intended to be a go-to platform for aspiring and seasoned 3D artists, offering inspiration, collaboration opportunities, and a shared space for creative growth.
Typography Study
Typography is pivotal for visual communication. Through this study, I explored the impact of different typefaces on message delivery and reader engagement. By focusing on how typography enhances readability, conveys mood, and embodies brand identity, I help to ensure the content I create informs and resonates with the audience. Hardening these foundations reinforces my art for visual communication.
Sketching and Illustration
The power of sketching and illustration, through software like Adobe Illustrator, is essential for producing high-quality visual content. These skills enable me to translate complex ideas into visually compelling narratives, reinforcing understanding and engagement. They also play a crucial role in branding, allowing for the creation of unique visuals that resonate with audiences. Mastery of illustration and sketching is a vital tool, facilitating the creation of impactful and memorable designs.
