Professional Generalist: Artist, Maker, Sales

Summary
I am a professional generalist, with a strong background in visual effects, 3D modeling, and project management in a multi-disciplinary production team.
I'm a natural teacher, problem solver, and active learner.
I worked as a 3D modeler for Williams-Sonoma, Inc for 5 years, where I created 1200+ photorealistic models of home furnishings for client's E-Commerce websites while managing people and deliverables.
After my COVID layoff, I quickly started a small business creating custom-made USB Cables for mechanical keyboards and electronics. In my four years as VoxelMods, I have learned many business and client related skills that I aim to apply to new fields.
