Collaborated with Team Reveland to produce a 1-minute film for WeArt. The project involved various stages, including 3D animation, rotoscoping, compositing, and editing, ensuring a seamless final product. I worked with a powerful toolset comprising Cinema 4D, Redshift, Mocha, and After Effects to bring the creative vision to life.

The Hero4Hire team strikes again! I had another opportunity to work with them on a Bose project, this time for the "Bose SoundLink Max Portable Speaker." It's always a pleasure working with Hero4Hire because they have such a positive team. Evan Sussman and Dana Isenberg are especially great people to collaborate with! It was a short project timeline but we did our best in that time period.

I collaborated closely with Alex from WeAreAlive on an extensive Defense Factory project that was entirely in 3D. Given the project's stringent deadline, we were in a constant rush to complete our tasks. Despite the pressure, the project was managed with utmost professionalism, and we dedicated ourselves fully to deliver the best results within the limited timeframe. Together, we produced over five minutes of 3D scenes.

The journey continues with the fantastic members of our team. The only difference is that the family has grown larger now. This company is a dynamo! I feel extremely fortunate to have this opportunity as a Freelance 3D Artist.

My time with Haddad & Partners has been a joyful experience. We, as a team, have put in a tremendous amount of effort. This has been my most extended journey in freelance and remote work. Interestingly, this journey hasn't ended, as Haddad & Partners and PureRED have decided to merge. Within both companies, creativity knows no bounds, and there is a constant buzz of content creation. As a Freelance 3D Artist, I had the fantastic opportunity to contribute to Microsoft projects. This experience has opened my eyes to the real potential of remote working systems. I believe these companies have much to share with the world about this mode of work.

I experienced an incredibly intense and rewarding period in my freelance career, having the opportunity to contribute to projects for two major brands: PayPal and Bose. Working with Hero4Hire, I was entrusted to be a part of these significant projects. Christina Augustinos, the Head of Content Production, impressed me with her professionalism and organizational skills. Collaborating with Jane Wu, the Creative Director, was a smooth and enjoyable experience. Additionally, Tyler Jordan, who managed the Motion Graphics, was both cool and highly focused, making the whole experience memorable.PaypalIn total of 3 major animations I was responsible with 3D lighting, look development, and animation.BoseI was responsible with 3D lighting, look development of the Bose Music Amplifier product.

Konstanz Area, Germany

I contributed to diverse advertising projects, primarily focused on local initiatives for the Bodensee area. I undertook a significant responsibility for a major project named Koch. Despite its lengthy duration, I dedicated my best efforts to ensure client satisfaction, and I believe I successfully met and surpassed the challenges posed by the project. Due to Covid, this journey had to come to an end after one year.

Istanbul, Turkey

I have worked on various advertising projects, catering to some of Turkey's biggest clients, including Beko, Arcelik, Altus, Markapark, and Vitra. Primarily, our focus was on presentations for technology fairs. I played a key role in the team for over four years. Additionally, I had the responsibility of contributing to the award-winning Markapark project, recognized by the Italy A' Awards. This project involved a significant emphasis on CAD data, given the prominence of Beko and Arcelik as the leading white appliance companies in Turkey.

Istanbul, Turkey

It was an incredibly intense job experience, and I gained a wealth of knowledge during my time there. The level of engagement made it feel like two years of learning compressed into one. I actively participated in numerous overtime sessions, and being one of only two 3D artists on the team, I found fulfillment in the challenges. Despite the demanding nature of the work, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the opportunity to contribute.

Istanbul, Turkey

I had the opportunity to work for a relatively short period, around six months. Being part of a few projects was enjoyable, but due to the current stance of the company, my position wasn't optimally aligned with my skills and preferences. Consequently, I made the decision to transition to another company by my own choice. Perhaps, with a more suitable alignment within the company, I could have contributed more effectively to the work.

My initial staffed job experience was like returning to my professional roots. It served as a birthplace for my career, providing me with the opportunity to showcase my abilities. The supervisors placed their trust in me, assigning numerous tasks that allowed me to discover and hone my skills. Although the salary wasn't particularly generous, the joy of being part of the team and contributing to exciting projects overshadowed any monetary concerns.

My sole internship experience was during the summer, and I had yet to graduate from university. My supervisor, a talented and experienced 3D Artist from France, introduced me to a world of creativity and innovation. Although the position didn't lead to a staff role, I had the opportunity to contribute to various Hollywood movie projects by assisting with rotos. Through this experience, I discovered that the VFX industry wasn't my primary interest. Subsequently, I shifted my focus to 3D Motion Graphics, where I dedicated myself to continuous improvement and growth.
