01 / My approach

Spaces that look
and feel alive.

I’m drawn to environments that do more than look impressive. I want them to communicate an idea, tell a story and invite people to explore.

With a foundation in 3D, lighting and optimization, I combine creative and technical work to make visually considered experiences that perform well in real time.

For me, virtual production and architectural visualization are creative disciplines as much as technical ones. Real-time rendering, optimized assets and interactive environments can help tell a story, suggest an idea or support a decision.

I work from pre-production and conceptualization through final optimization, keeping the visual intention and the experience in balance. A virtual environment can let a client explore a space before bringing it into the real world.

I continue exploring real-time rendering, digital twins and interactive production, looking for ways to make each project more engaging and effective.

02 / Experience

Creative work.
Technical depth.

Architectural visualization, branding production, VR/AR and Fortnite experiences, with involvement from concept to optimization.

Built through collaboration.

I’ve collaborated with Altered Ventures, Altea Emotions and Demente Studio, developing Unreal Engine solutions for brands including Aldar, Vidanta, Grupo DMI and Calaverandia.

I’ve also taught Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) courses and created branded islands for events.
