For this animated scene, I reworked a nebula from a previous project by adjusting its colors and lighting. I created a unique planet with misty cloud rings, then scattered meteors using geometry nodes, simulation, and texturing. A star-filled background and foggy color layers added depth to the galaxy environment. This project highlights my skills in 3D art, visual effects, and atmospheric design.
This project was an experiment with Blender’s texturing tools to create a nebula scene. I focused on lighting interactions with gradients of color, building the nebula’s spiral form with misty cloud effects, and scattering emissive dots for stars. This exercise reflects my process of learning new 3D modeling techniques while applying graphics and design principles to space environments.
This project blended whimsy and grit by texturing a teapot-tank hybrid model. I combined warm, feminine colors with rugged surface wear, adding floral details as a symbolic contrast between resilience and softness. This piece demonstrates creative storytelling through texturing within 3D art and graphics and design. Credit to the original model creator.
Using a provided snowglobe model, I reimagined it as a purple crystal ball. I layered mist effects, glowing sparkles, and textured sand to create a mystical fortune-telling atmosphere. This project showcases my ability to recontextualize models through texturing and visual storytelling in 3D design. Credit to the original model creator.
For this project, I textured a snail model from the film Turbo to resemble Gary from SpongeBob SquarePants. I used playful colors, shell patterns, and contrasting textures—grainy for the shell and smooth for the body—to achieve a cartoon-inspired look. This work reflects my versatility in character-inspired graphics and design within 3D modeling.

This model’s texturing was inspired by the vibrant ship designs from Pikmin. I emphasized bold colors, weathered details, and subtle scuffing while giving the panels a face-like appearance. I also edited and composed the animation to mimic video game style. This project highlights my skills in stylized 3D art and graphics for interactive media.

For this 3D model, I recreated Mr. Mullpepper’s Apothecary from Harry Potter. The intricate window display was the greatest challenge, requiring detailed modeling, sculpting, and texturing to achieve accuracy. This project combines precise 3D modeling with graphics and design to bring a recognizable fantasy environment to life.

This sculpt was a facial study emphasizing realism and age. I added wrinkles and texturing to a base female model, combining sculpting and surface detail to achieve natural, lifelike skin. This project demonstrates how I integrate 3D modeling, sculpting, and design to study human features. Credit to the original base model and creator.
While learning Blender, I created this isometric building render to explore stylized 3D perspectives. The result was a simple yet polished design that merges the clarity of 2D-inspired graphics and design with the depth of 3D art.
This project reimagined Matt Dixon’s robot artwork as a 3D model in a forest setting. I emphasized rugged, earthy textures while adding creative liberties, such as a weathered purple birdhouse. Close-up renders highlighted the detailing and alternate poses. This piece reflects my ability to translate 2D inspiration into expressive 3D modeling and design.

I mix imagination with intention—each project starts with your idea and grows into bold 3D art, animation characters, and design that’s anything but ordinary.
