Project: HEX I had the opportunity to participate in an 8-week professional mentorship program for UI and Data Design under Ash Thorp. These frames were created as a response to the course's creative brief, with the help of Ash's insight and guidance. The brief was as follows: The HEX Object is a nebulous visual data construct intended to hold untold amounts of top-secret and sensitive government information. Characters throughout the ďŹ lm will interact with the HEX Object, illustrating the vast scope of the informational network contained inside. The HEX Object is a pivotal concept in the ďŹ lm which will convey ideas and concepts back to the central storyline. Software: 3DS Max, Cinema 4D, Vray, Photoshop

Lucas Cultural Arts Museum We had the pleasure of working with OMA to produce a video to support their proposal in a design competition for the Lucas Cultural Arts Museum in Chicago. Our ďŹ lm looked to capitalize on OMA’s rich model-building heritage as the hero(es) of the presentation. Utilizing the physical model as the primary mode of depiction, we enhanced the choreographed shots with CG elements to give a glimpse into the character and usage of the building.

Explorations Personal explorations of techniques in 3D and 2D have been instrumental in my growth and development as an artist. In particular, what fascinates me is the potential for visual art to journey into the surreal. Here are some experimental frames that my computer has helped me spit out in the recent past. Software: 3DS Max, Vray, After Effects, Photoshop
