Professional Description
It is the first time that I work with 3D in that way, my previous experience included a lot of other type of job with a lot creation, executive project and detailing (and it is somenthing that I love! Create interior design projects and discouver some new designs, furnitures, finishes, and see the project getting alive). But even that I never worked specifically as 3D artist, I always in every office that I worked was know as the one who loves presentations, 3d, marketing and makes plans and be the super positive one. Here, I started as Interior Designer and now I am work with Katia as BIM Modeler. I wish a short future to understand better BIM and Unreal to create a bridge between both of them. But I miss a bit of participating in a conception of the projects and would like to integrate this skill in some way here in the company.
