Hi! Welcome to my portfolio. I am a Southern California Artist and Educator who loves to challenge the boundaries of art and technology to create original visual experiences that engage audiences in new and unexpected ways.
I received a BA in Visual Arts - Studio (3D Film & Animation) from UCSD, and went on to have an exciting and rewarding career as a 3D Animator and Art Director in video games and interactive media - shipping 12+ AAA video games and grossing $150+ million for brands.

HYPNAGOGIA

The HYPNAGOGIA AR collection features animated kinetic works exploring layered movement using math. The kinetic sculptures are sculpted in virtual reality, then animated and displayed using the augmented reality app Adobe Aero.
From six feet to twelve stories high, the animated works are planted virtually on the ground using augmented reality technology on a smartphone.

Refracting Realities is a collection of kinetic augmented reality sculptures exploring the mesmerizing beauty of π and sine waves.
The sculptures combine art and math using values of PI. Sine waves are the secret to how all things move in the universe.

Official Snap AR Creator
In 2021, I was brought on to be an official Snap Creator as part of the Snap Lens Network and was commissioned to create an augmented reality art installation in collaboration with Judy Baca and LACMA at the site of The Great Wall of Los Angeles.
Over the years, I have contributed 2D/3D assets to the Lens Studio asset library while creating lenses/filters that explore fantasy fashion, wearable art, and interactive kinetic sculptures with real-world physics - reaching 700 million worldwide.
