Featured Project

Animated

Enterprise Bridge

This architectural visualization recreates the USS Enterprise bridge as a study in environmental modeling, lighting, and atmosphere using Blender. The project emphasizes clean topology, material development, and cinematic presentation while exploring techniques for creating believable science-fiction environments.

Selected Work

Interactive · Blender–Unity Capstone

Unity Pipeline Museum

This explorable virtual museum demonstrates a Blender-to-Unity asset pipeline through four exhibits: a static chair, a textured donut, an animated spider, and a procedural potion bottle.

Animated Logo

An animated interpretation of my personal printer’s mark created during the Blender Capstone course. Using modifiers and procedural animation, this project explores how simple graphic elements can become an engaging motion piece while demonstrating Blender’s non-destructive animation workflow.

Animated · Blender Capstone

Spider Walk Cycle

This project focuses on creating a believable eight-legged walk cycle for a stylized low-poly spider. It progressed from modeling and rigging through inverse kinematics and animation refinement, then prepared the finished asset for use in Unity.

Who’s on First?

Inspired by Abbott and Costello’s classic baseball routine, this Grease Pencil project combines hand-drawn animation, period imagery, compositing, and synchronized audio. The assignment became an experiment in timing, visual storytelling, and Blender’s 2D animation tools.

Interactive

Simon Webgame

A recreation of the classic electronic memory game developed as an exercise in interactive design and interface programming. Built with Tumult Hype, the project explores animation, event handling, gameplay logic, and responsive interaction for the web.

Static

Fox & Flagon Postcard

This postcard introduces the Fox & Flagon, a semi-historical fantasy tavern set near Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in 1594 London. Created as a print-design exercise, it combines period atmosphere, original worldbuilding, typography, and visual storytelling.

Static

Bankside Chronicle

Designed as a period-inspired newspaper spread, the Bankside Chronicle blends historical research with original editorial design. Created in Adobe InDesign, it explores typography, publication layout, and visual storytelling while expanding the shared world of the Fox & Flagon.

Animated · Blender

Crepuscular Light Study

A volumetric lighting study built around a moving gobo projection and dense atmospheric fog. The animation uses crepuscular rays to reveal dimensional typography and fragments of the surrounding scene, treating light itself as the primary storytelling element.

Animated · Blender

Text Particles

A particle-driven typography experiment in which “SAINT PAUL COLLEGE” emits two scales of particles into a turbulent field. The piece balances Brownian motion, procedural variation, and reflective staging while preserving the text as the visual anchor.
