Summary
With nearly thirty years of experience in 3D Technologies and Design Leadership, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and strategic insight. While my journey began with a degree in music, the creativity and discipline I developed, along with my ability to communicate in Spanish, have profoundly shaped my human-centered approach to solving complex challenges in 3D technology. These diverse skills enable me to translate complex ideas and adapt workflows from VFX and game design to drive innovation in fields like retail footwear, apparel, and consumer product design.
This path has allowed me to view problems from fresh angles, consistently adapting and leveraging workflows from VFX and game design to drive innovation in fields like retail footwear, apparel, and consumer product design. I have been recognized by clients and peers for my ability to earn trust when conducting workshops, lead users to distill information, and guide the development of the solution with teammates.
More recently, my focus has been on transforming workflows and aligning them with business goals, helping companies achieve ROI and operational efficiency through 3D design, visualization, and digital product creation. My expertise extends to AR/VR, Generative AI, and leading technical projects that integrate cutting-edge solutions into existing infrastructures.
One of my proudest accomplishments was earning a patent for OmniVue, a technique that redefines live VR experiences by enhancing user engagement and solving immersion-breaking issues like motion sickness. In addition to this innovation, I’ve authored a book on 3D visualization techniques, equipping artists with the tools to break into emerging fields.
My academic contributions as a professor at multiple universities reflect my commitment to developing future talent who will be tomorrow's thinkers and innovators. Above all, my ability to communicate complex ideas in clear, accessible ways has been integral to my success across industries.
At the heart of my work is collaboration—building and leading cross-functional teams, managing technical projects, and delivering solutions that meet both creative and operational objectives. I believe that leveraging new technologies and enhancing workflows is essential not only for a company’s success but also for making people’s jobs easier and their lives better. This sense of purpose guides me as I help companies navigate digital transformations, enabling them to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving landscape.
