I worked as the principal motion designer and 3D generalist at MSCHF from 2020 to 2024. In that role, I applied extensive technical expertise to a diverse range of projects, achieving high creative output while continually exploring and learning new skills. As a versatile designer, I have the experience to create assets that align with a variety of styles and themes. Here are some selected highlights of that work
Soft Surprise - Night Lights (2025)
project info:
I began designing a collection of several nightlights, with at least a week of prototyping and iterating per design, I arrived at these forms. I used Fusion 360 to make the connection piece between the nightlight base and the toppers. The top portion of the night lights are modeled with a combination of Cinema 4D and ZBrush

c4d fur simulation mock up
Image map to drive the fur mapping
This design started out as a digital image made with fur simulation tools in Cinema4D where I painted an image in photoshop and then used that as an image map that drove the fur map coloration. As someone that grew up in Colorado Springs and a lover of the Rocky Mountains and Pikes Peak, I personally long to look at mountains as frequently as possible and that’s where this artwork came from. A few years after the digital mockup I handmade the rug with a hand crank tufing tool called the Danella tool. The Danella tool is much more fine and controlled than the typical electrical tufting guns that have become immensely popular in recent years. I used my stash of lace weight and fingering weight yarns to feed through the Danella tool for this final result.

MSCHF Mag is a format-breaking, quasi-speculative hackercore and culture-jamming-lite publication. I was tasked with making a posable 3D model dupe of CG celebrity, Lil Miquela. Additionally, I illustrated acomic about the subject and designed the website design for our mag widget, allowing visitors to download assets for themselves so they could also be Lil Miquela

~Pourri - Tap Explainer Sizzle Reel (2024)
project info:
Explainer sizzle video about NFC enabled tappable ~Pourri products for internal use. I recut previously existing sizzle videos and integrated new motion content. I 3D modeled the tap sprayer and rendered in numerous angles for the video in addition to making dynamic infographic call outs through out along with some animated cell phone mockups.
