This is a creative playground built over the last 5+ years of creative exploration and late-night experiments.

A mixture of exploring new mediums, diving head-first into learning Blender without coming up for air. All or nothing - that is the way. Immersive spaces and prop-creation for VR worlds, 3D compositions, 3D prints, gaussian splats, happy accidents...

A corner of my work that is driven by an insatiable desire to tackle something momentously challenging, learn, and come out the other end with a brand new skill set. Rinse-and-repeat.
