Mascot IRL - Mixed Reality 3D Model
Modeled in Blender and textured in Adobe Substance Painter in November 2025. Used MindAR and pictarize.com to experiment with image tracking.
Music Room
This coloring book combines social work terms and definitions with geometric, floral patterns. Sydney Hart created this book’s concept and wrote the contents, while I drew 6 different coloring book illustrations (all finished pages are not pictured here) and the book’s cover using Clip Studio Paint. This book is available for purchase on Amazon as of February 2026.
Digital Toolbox
Models for 3 usable props (tamagotchi-like portable charger, cords-whip, teleporter remote) based on a digital theme/character. Sketched in Apple's Procreate, then modeled in Blender, textured in Adobe Substance Painter, and exported to Unreal Engine in April 2025.
Low-to-High Poly Teapots
Practice exercise (September 2025) to model props with varied amounts of polygons. The green (left) teapot has less than 5k polygons, the orange (middle) teapot has less than 10k polygons, and the pink and blue (right) teapot has over 20k polygons.
Realistic and Cartoony Scissors
Sculpt-modeling exercise (September 2025) to create a prop in two different styles without concerning the polygon count.
Low Poly Environment
Small, low-poly environment depicting fantasy creatures in a modern cityscape. Modeled and textured in Blender in January 2025.
Object Synthesizer
Used KIRI engine to scan three objects into 3D models, then adjusted and textured the models in Blender in March 2025.
Bunny Coasters
A coaster set in the shape of a bunny and featuring bunny engravings made in November 2024. The bottom and top of the set was modeled in Rhino 7, and the coasters were laser-cut and engraved using drawing outlines from Adobe Illustrator.
Calcifer Lamp
Based on the character Calcifer from Studio Ghibli's "Howl's Moving Castle." The lamp's top and base components were both modeled in Rhino 7 in April 2024.
June Character Figure
Original character modeled in Rhino 7 and Blender, then 3D printed and painted in May 2024.
