Creative Technologist | Senior 3D Designer
Cinematic Systems · Real-Time Prototyping · Product Experiences
I design cinematic visual systems and high-fidelity prototypes that bridge storytelling, technology, and product execution.
Bio
I am a creative technologist working at the intersection of cinematic production, real-time systems, and interactive prototyping.
My background is rooted in Hollywood, where I built high-fidelity visual systems for large-scale productions - translating complex ideas into precise, emotionally driven imagery.
Today, I focus on transforming that same thinking into product experiences - using rapid prototyping, real-time tools, and emerging technologies to turn abstract ideas into functional systems.
