DESIGN EXPERIENCE
Walt Disney Imagineering
Tokyo DisneySea: Fantasy Springs
**Design work with Walt Disney Imagineering cannot be displayed due to confidentiality**Lead Technical 3D DesignerLed, taught & managed various levels of team members on the production & workflow of 3D design & fabrication
Designed & modeled sculptures, architectural elements & environments utilizing Rhino, SolidWorks & ZBrush for concept design & vendor fabrication
Integrated & collaborated in detailed design reviews with stakeholders, extending from engineers to artists to efficiently meet project schedules, milestones, & budgets
Transformed clay maquettes into CAD files using 3D scanning technology along with post processing software (PolyWorks) to allow for 3D printing and vendor fabrication
Specialized in both the exterior & interior environmental design of the entire expansion from ride elements to landscaping & area development
Worked through the entire life cycle of the design & production of the themed expansion from contributing to the creation of the physical scale models (1:100, 1:50, 1:25), to leading the BIM integration efforts in 3D space

Hong Kong Disneyland: Frozen
**Design work with Walt Disney Imagineering cannot be displayed due to confidentiality**Technical 3D Designer & Scale Model MakerRan sightline studies using Autodesk BIM 360 along with Grasshopper script within Rhino to make sure our concept designs mitigated unwanted views within guest facing areas of the new land expansion thus reducing onsite costly fixes
Utilized various 3D programs to perform clash detection between architectural elements & rockwork facades to avoid construction problems onsite during installation
Worked alongside our international partners & fabrication vendors to coordinate a cohesive 3D rockwork design that was efficient for build but maintained creative intent
Heavily worked on the 1:50 & 1:100 architectural scale models of the entire land expansion ranging rockwork foam sculpting, 3D design & printing of props & architectural pieces, laser cutting of design elements and more.
Walt Disney Imagineering
Shanghai Disneyland: Zootopia
**Design work with Walt Disney Imagineering cannot be displayed due to confidentiality**Lead Technical 3D Designer & Environment SculptorDigitally sculpted, designed and integrated all 3D CAD models that was used for production of the entire cityscape façade
Translated 2D drawings and movie references into 3D artwork utilizing techniques such as forced perspective, composition and lighting to create an immersive environment that followed creative direction & intent
Maintained the overall management of all 3D files and documentation that our international counterparts & fabrication vendors needed for accurate production & installation so intended design would not be lost through communication
Solely supported & collaborated in internal design reviews as the lead 3D designer with our international partners and external vendors to hit project deadlines
Worked alongside creative directors, project managers & production designers to cater to everyone’s needs both creatively and budget wise
