Akira Bike

A tribute to manga/anime Akira. I started this project to sharpen my skills when it comes to hard surface modeling.

Stylized Potted Plant

A prop built for a UE4 topdown tactics game.

Unreleased Project - Visual Target & UI

The visual target scene was a collaboration with Ryan Milligan to determine a look and feel for the game. I then designed a UI layout and look using the visual target as a base.

Camera Poster

I have always felt a lot of people who pick up a really nice camera these days do not bother learning about the basics of photography and the terms used. They are content with just automatic modes whereas they could probably achieve much better photos if they understood what each function actually does. This was a personal project of mine to raise that awareness.

Anti-Smoking Poster

A personal project to create an anti smoking ad poster

Kongsberg Geospatial

A UI concept designed for a banner for Kongsberg Geospacial

Odayakana - SketchUp

A showcase piece demonstrating interior and exterior architectural elements built within SketchUp.

A concept originally created for Xmen: Days of Future Past to determine the visual style we wanted to go for. This particular design is heavily inspired off of Vanillaware's Dragon's Crown.

SWR: UI Concept

A very early concept created for Star Wars: Recon Missions where we were trying to determine how dialogue backgrounds would look like.

Freedom

Star Wars Rebels: Tool

Since we were dealing with a large quantity of assets for Star Wars Rebels, I created a set of scripts to sort and organize the meshes and wire them with the naming schemes required by the engine. This keeps all the meshes readable in 3dsMax & Maya and exports them with the additional prefixes and tags after being finalized.

Star Wars Rebels:Tool

When building prefabs from the pool of modular pieces, it is easy to get lost so level designers requested a script to show the mesh names on top of the pieces in the viewport.

Gigataur Website

A responsive HTML5 design created for the corporate website for Gigataur Corporation.

Mitel MiVoice

While working at Design Interpretive, I created the User Interface prototype for the then called UC360 Conferencing Unit using Flash and AS3. I also contributed to icon design and photorealistic rendering of the unit. Unit design and mesh by D.I.
