Experience

  • Studio Artist at Full Sail University
    Orlando, United States of America
    April 2022 - Present

    I am an instructor for Full Sail and when I am not teaching the arts of 3D I am creating assets for the students to create examples for them to follow. I work with some of the most rewarding group of people and get to interact with some of the most talented group of students. It is a blessing to be able to work with Full Sail and I look forward to any future endeavors with Full Sail University.

  • Lead 3D Graphic Designer at Lusso De Arte
    Orlando, United States of America
    September 2019 - February 2022

    I created various works of art. Some of my responsibilities include designing beds,

    slides, outdoor, entertainment and living area layouts for the company’s clients. After the

    layout is approved, I would then theme the rooms with anything ranging from Star Wars

    ship bed, Disney Princess style bed, or slides with a Mario pipe made of wood protruding

    from the top. Some of the rooms would be designed with 3D printed characters created

    myself and prepped for print on 26 industrial sized filament printers.

    Other tasks given consists of creating inventory sheets for the company, animation that

    would be uploaded to 3D hologram fans, rigging using the quick rig for posing and sometimes for quick animations. After a design is approved and themed, my additional tasks are

    to break down the various objects created in Maya and blueprint them out for different

    mediums which include carpentry, foam sculpting, muralist, and 3D print prep. I would use

    Arnolds vector renderer to render in Vector then brought into illustrator for extract measurements. The measurements were made easier after we installed and utilized AutoCad measuring tools. Some of the rooms designed are featured in Orlando weekly.

  • Intern at Full Sail University
    Winter Park, United States of America
    April 2019 - Present

    We are currently working on a short film inspired by a western theme. I was tasked to model the big bad anit-hero and some of the other smaller side characters. This has been an incredible experience and I look forward to producing more stuff!

  • Lab Monitor at Full Sail University
    Winter Park, United States of America
    December 2016 - Present

    I love my job. My main job task is to open Full Sails lab room so that students may utilize the equipment provided by Full Sail. I'm there, not to just open the classroom, but to assist any students who need any assistance with anything happening with their projects or if they just want a quick critique.
