I have 10 years worth of experience in 3D art. My specialty lies in modeling creatures and characters. I also am highly skilled in creating clothes and cloth simulations. My award winning work at Dimensional Innovations included creating endearing sculptures and characters for several children's hospitals as well as providing renders and models for museum and stadium interactives across the nation. I have produced several bronze sculptures that now live permanently on college campuses and large form sculptures for many other sectors. Dimensional Innovations Overland Park, KS
