What sparked your interest in product visualization? I’ve always loved being creative and making things on the computer. It wasn’t until secondary school that I fell in love with rendering and the idea of being able to transform my ideas from 2D sketches to 3D concepts. This is what inspired me to study industrial design at university. What has been the highlight or your career? I would say a big highlight of my career was landing my first client as a Freelance Product Visualizer. This was important to me, as it showed I was able to turn something that started as a hobby into a job, allowing me to enjoy what I do every day. What is unique about your approach to a project/design? I place a lot of focus on incorporating subtle details and quirks into my designs that add together to solidify the story I’m trying to tell. I do this by studying the brief and submerging myself in research to extrapolate my ideas. This allows me to generate as many concepts as possible before exploring my favourites. What is your primary 3D modeling software? I mainly use Fusion 360 for modelling, but 3D models are often provided to me by clients. I have also started to learn Blender to fill the gaps in my workflow. I think having knowledge in both NURBS Modelling and Polygonal Modelling is helpful as it gives you the most flexibility to realize your concepts without compromising on your vision.
