Providing original interactive 3D VR experiences and gamification solutions. As well as animated presentations for a wide variety of clients, with a diverse range of needs. Adding value to their front end, promotional and training capabilities. Gamification adds another dimension to learning, while interactive immersion improves retention.VR and Unity 3D applications have proven to be a winning technology with each client, sparking new conversations with novel and effective customer/employee engagements. The same application can be used across PC/MAC, mobile and VR headset devices. Accommodating many forms of user inputs such as a mouse, or simulating fully immersive virtual activities using 6DOF controllers and a headset. It's the closest thing to actually being there.

Had the opportunity to learn new 3D modeling, rendering and animation skills while assisting the engineers and sales department of this world leading robotics integrator. Pitched and executed the company's first VR experiences which are used for sales, tradeshows, design reviews, as well as special orders from industry leading customers and partners. VR demoing is still an important part of their strategy. Software included 3DS Max with Mental Ray, Unity, and Adobe Suite.

I was a team member on a variety of mobile games as game artist, and prototype developer using Playmaker visual scripting and Unity. I collaborated with a few different small teams to create fun colorful interactive experiences for children. Titles included Disney Jr's Goldie and Bear, and Defy's Man At Arms: Forged In Battle. On the latter I created 3D models based on provided concept art for all characters and bosses, implemented motion capture, and created a working android prototype.

I enjoyed wearing many hats at this small ambitious startup. Throughout my time at Hitpoint Inc, I learned about many ins and outs of the social gaming scene, casual gaming on facebook and mobile. My responsibilities mostly involved art content creation for hidden object games and puzzle adventure titles, including 2D photo-illustrated scenery and themed environments, 3D isometric town assets, and marketing materials. My role also evolved to include art direction, state machine game logic for puzzle mini games, using Unity 3D and Playmaker. Other projects involved VFX using particle systems, animating 3D assets, and creating UV textures. Game titles included: Seaside Hideaway, Fablewood, Adera, How To Train Your Dragon - World Explorer, Gun Bros facebook, and other indie collaborations using Unity 3D.

Created original colorful designs and concepts for toy packaging, sales sheets, and websites. I worked closely with the brand owner to collaborate on a wide variety of youth based toy themes. I also created die-lines using illustrator for many packaging prototypes for early review.

I had the pleasure of meeting the marketing staff and VP in Orange, CT. I was tasked to create a packaging art style for their upcoming new chocolate flavored candy. The packages included 4 different formats, from countertop to a hanging blister card. The packaging art is still used after 15 years.
