3D Work

My design practice extends beyond screen design and into 3D. As a trained 3D artist focused on character sculpting and scene rendering, I sometimes weave custom 3D design into my UI/UX and product work to create more immersive experiences. Below is a curated selection of my standalone 3D passion projects and stylized character studies. You can view my dedicated 3D character portfolio at https://notrealtoys.artstation.com

My friends over at ./Frag, a gaming YouTube channel, were building a custom arcade cabinet for their recording studio and needed a wrap to match their brand aesthetic. I stepped in to design the cabinet artwork, using my 3D modeling and rendering skills to place the host into a series of funny, compromising scenarios that pay homage to classic video game and pop culture IPs. Check out the initial 3D renders below, followed by photos of the final printed cabinet!

Designed in an ultra-wide format, these banners also functioned as continuously scrolling break screens for the channel's live broadcasts.

The arcade cabinet

After completing the 3D scene renders, I transitioned to designing the final wrap graphics. I built the 2D cabinet artwork around these 3D assets, incorporating the ./Frag hosts as characters above and below the screen as a tribute to classic fighting game cabinets.

Over the past decade, I’ve had an ongoing creative collaboration with nerdcore rapper Mega Ran, designing everything from album cover art and cassette tapes to music videos. For his latest single, I directed and animated a short social media promo reel, managing the entire production pipeline. This included storyboards, previs renders, asset sourcing, scene animation, and the final edit. The concept features Mega Ran and G. Love reimagined as stylized 3D characters in the spirit of games like Animal Crossing, as they enjoy a sunny day on the beach and boardwalk.

During my time at Pidwin, I had the opportunity to bring brand milestones to life through 3D motion. For Castle.com's platform launch, I spent a day 3D modeling and hand-animating a completely custom video teaser in Blender to set the tone for their big debut. The teaser was shared directly to their Discord community to generate hype. Shortly after, I designed and animated a high-energy 3D logo refresh for the RBXGold to GoldPump rebrand, syncing the motion perfectly to a custom hype track.

When Shift4 needed an animated background for a company-wide presentation, I leveraged my 3D skills to create an elegant motion asset for the introductory slide. Using abstract shapes inspired by the Solo brand identity, I designed a dynamic 3D scene where the elements smoothly shifted in scale and visibility.
