Summary
As a digital sculptor with over six years of experience in interior automotive design, I specialize in digital surfacing for automotive interiors. I collaborate closely with design, engineering, and studio modeling teams to translate initial sketches and Class-A surface criteria into production-ready 3D models, using Autodesk Alias. I am involved in leading the creation and refinement of automotive product surfaces, ensuring they meet ergonomic, aesthetic, and manufacturing standards throughout the product development cycle. I proactively address complex design challenges by proposing surface solutions that balance styling intent with engineering feasibility. Working under tight deadlines, I consistently deliver high-quality surface data to support critical milestones, including design reviews and feasibility assessments. I provide guidance to peers by reviewing their work and contributing to workflow improvements across programs.
