This blacksmith environment was created as a personal project to experiment with environmental storytelling and handcrafted detail. Inspired by medieval fantasy workshops, the scene focuses on worn materials, practical props, and warm cinematic lighting to create a lived-in atmosphere. The…
During my second year at Drexel University, I took a character rigging course where I learned the fundamentals of building animation-ready rigs. Throughout the class, I created skeletal hierarchies, inverse and forward kinematics (IK/FK) systems, control rigs, constraints, and deformation…
A detailed 3D recreation of the Ascension Cross from Ascension UCC. This asset was modeled in Maya and ZBrush, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Redshift, with a focus on capturing material detail and craftsmanship.
This project was developed during Drexel University’s Star Program and focuses on the historical discovery of Peale’s Mastodon. Inspired by Charles Willson Peale’s written letters to his son, I created a short AI-generated film interpreting his account of the excavation.…
During my freshman year at Drexel University, I took Animation I, where I learned the fundamentals of animation, including core principles such as timing, spacing, squash and stretch, anticipation, and follow-through. This blog post showcases several of the animation exercises…
This was a collaborative 3D environment project focused on a janitorial storage space. I was responsible for modeling and creating multiple assets, including the shop vac, bookshelves, mop bucket, faucet, and various cleaning supplies, as well as contributing to the…
A detailed 3D model of a honey bee, originally created for a still life project and presented here as a standalone asset. The model was built in Maya, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Redshift, with a focus on…
A 3D still life recreation inspired by Helen Searle’s Still Life with Fruit and Champagne. This project focused on accurately translating traditional painting elements—lighting, composition, and material detail—into a digital environment. The scene was created using Maya, Redshift and Substance…
A self-initiated 3D project created during winter break following my first quarter at Drexel University. The chainsaw was modeled in Maya, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Redshift, with a focus on reinforcing modeling skills and improving material realism.
