At Just Wireless, I worked to create accurate, to-spec 3D product models, photorealistic product renders, and high-quality 2D and 3D scenes and product compositions for use on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Target, and Best Buy.Using MOI, Cinema 4D and Octane, I work from product specifications, photos, and samples to create high quality product models from parametric modeling through texturing and often rigging. Product models are placed in custom or prefab 3D scenes and rendered in-environment or for compositing purposes using stock assets. Render angles, poses and compositions are designed to highlight key features.

Lyle O. Reitzel Gallery NY was my first consistent position out-of-college and it was an opportunity for me to wear many hats as a visual designer, as well as to grow into a leadership position, managing the gallery's day-to-day operations and events within a small team.My responsibilities as a visual designer included the creation of printed flyers for exhibitions as well as promotional material on social media, design and deployment of the gallery newsletter with Mailchimp, and upkeep of the gallery's website and blog. As assistant manager, I was thrust into the chaotic and exciting fine arts world, planning events, coordinating shipping, consignment and sales of pieces, as well as communicating a breadth of knowledge about Lyle O. Reitzel's artists, their styles and histories to collectors and enthusiasts.
