About Me

Howdy!I am a graduate of the Texas A&M University Class of 2020. I graduated Magna Cum Laude, with a Bachelor in Environmental Design and a Minor in Art in the College of Architecture. I received my Master's in Science of Visualization at Texas A&M University Class of 2023. I have a strong focus on 3D modeling, look development, surfacing, and texturing, as well as graphic design, conceptual development, character design, and storyboarding.Much of my dedication has always been towards my studies and striving to improve my creativity and artistic nature. I am a person who desires to bring life into creative pieces and seeks to inspire others as many have come to inspire me. I constantly seek ways to improve myself and build up my confidence. Thus, this portfolio is full of creative pieces, academic and personal, that I hope to continue to build throughout my professional career.I am constantly seeking personal improvement to better my knowledge in the creative realm and build my artistic style. I seek to work with others to reach a common goal, building friendships, and connections with each person I meet. Moving forward, I am eager to assist in bringing life to the creative realm of digital media and design; offering up my skills and leaving a lasting mark on others.

MS Capstone ProjectThe 3D Modeling and Look Development of a Still Life Inspired by Mexican Pan Dulce

Committee Chair: Professor Felice House
Committee Member: Professor Caleb Kicklighter
Committee Member: Professor Stephen Caffey
Directed Studies Mentor: Mallory Kohut

This project depicts the nostalgia of family traditions and the history of the Hispanic and Mexican communities by exploring visual storytelling through a rendered 3D still life of pan dulce.I cover the workflow from historical research and concept development, to modeling and look development, and lastly, the finishing details of my setup and lighting direction of the final scene.The software used was Autodesk Maya for modeling all assets, rendering through Pixar’s Renderman, surfacing and texturing in Substance Painter, and compositing through Nuke and Premiere Pro.Responsible for all assets, models modeled in Autodesk Maya, textured in Substance Painter, and brought into Maya Renderman for the final look and appearance. Compositing, lighting, and blur edits are made in Nuke.
