ABOUT ME
 

I bridge digital artistry and practical engineering to create designs that are both visually compelling and production-ready. With deep expertise in ZBrush and Rhino 3D, I specialize in sculpted components optimized for 3D printing (SLA, FDM, SLS) and silicone casting. I began freelancing on Upwork, creating stylized characters, capsule toys, and tabletop gaming figures for small-scale manufacturing. That experience led to a full-time role at LifeFormations, where I contributed to animatronic characters and scenic elements for major themed attractions, including Disney’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Currently, I work at TacMed Solutions, helping design trauma training manikins used in emergency medical and military simulations. I collaborate closely with mechanical, costuming, scenic, and finishing teams to ensure a seamless transition from digital sculpt to physical product. Whether sculpting expressive anatomy or engineering hard-surface parts, I focus on purposeful design, clarity, and real-world functionality.
