Summary

With experience in multiple makerspaces, 3D printing and prototype houses, immersive dome companies, AR/VR game startups, Web 3 and Metaverse companies, and freelance VFX work, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the impact that emerging technologies and storytelling have on our lives. Bridging the gap between art and technology, design empowers us to create captivating stories and experiences that fuel our imagination and shape a brighter future. Committed to continuous growth in these fields, I strive to expand my knowledge and share it with others. As a CG/VFX Generalist, VR/AR Designer, 3D Printing/File Consultant, and Entry Level Programmer, I eagerly anticipate the exciting possibilities that lie ahead in the vast 2D and 3D landscapes.
