Eric Michel Email & Phone Number

Currently, I work as a Freelance 3D Technical Artist. I accept opportunities ranging from modeling, rigging, and animation to cloth simulation and writing code for 3D tools development. Below is some of my background.From 2018 to 2019 I worked as a 3D Production Artist (or 3D Fashion Technologist as I like to call it) at a fashion customization studio in Portland Oregon called Embodee. While there I digitized customize-able 3D sports uniforms for world-leading brands. I also designed, developed, tested and maintained the 3D production pipeline for the digitization process. For two years I worked as a Lead 3D Generalist at Intervisual Corp, a startup in the Portland area pioneering a new, innovative technology for online fashion retailers (2016 - 2018). My experience there drew upon and further developed my knowledge of modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, pipeline development, and technical troubleshooting. The work our team produced was utilized by several illustrious global companies including Intel, Zappos, Nike, Adidas, Levis, and Google. Before Intervisual, I was a student at The Art Institute of Portland where I studied rigging and animation in the Media Arts program (2013 - 2015). This was a strong divergence from my previous career as a teacher which I left in 2013 to move to Portland and pursue my dreams in the world of technology. When I'm not working, I love to work on personal projects, walk my upbeat dog, and spend time with my wife and daughter, as well as friends and family.Website & Demo Reel: https://www.em3dsolutions.com/
