About

I'm a San Francisco based 3D artist, animator, and amateur game developer passionate about storytelling with creatively engaging digital experiences. My interactive portfolio showcases a creative shift from 10+ years designing popular UX for consumer product interfaces to celebrate more personal game-centric virtual experiences and simulation-based AR experiments.

All projects showcase my independent research and execution from concept to final render exploring the multifaceted end-to-end creative cycles of 3D development and post-production.

I’ve found a comfortable corner in creating physics-based sandboxes, interactive games, and research based simulations to understand the evolving industry standards in building and collaborating with new virtual environments. Influenced by early gen arcade games, I find it delightfully fun to develop for the VR and AR spaces offering endless possibilities for unseen new experience while paying homage to the core nostalgic treasures of the past. I strive to create full 'print & play' projects that can be downloaded and enjoyed multi-platform, including 3D print, for free at home.

I understand the magic happens deep within post-production. There is an art to the full post process for a clean handoff between concept, capture, render, VFX, and sound design to bring a creative vision to screen. I upload 60-second render reels to YouTube of all my projects and original audio to share the process and workflow/results – check it out!

Before deep diving in the 3D space, I've spent nearly a decade in-house with Apple's Human Interface Design team as a UX/UI designer in the Cupertino, CA, design studio, helping create popular interactive features such as Siri, Apple Music, and Spotlight Search.

Shortly after, I had the privilege of becoming a lead IxD designer at Google and design systems librarian for YouTube's Material Design, working on YouTube's Live platform incorporating FUN-ctionality and numerous gamified magic moments to the creator tools, live chat, and main watch page.

I am currently the Senior Designer at Together.ai – The fastest cloud platform for building and running generative AI. We are a research-driven artificial intelligence company contributing leading open-source research, models, and datasets advancing the frontier of AI using decentralized clusters of high-end GPUs with the world's best models – all on one platform!
