I'm an Automotive Designer, 3D Designer, and Visualisation Artist with over 5 years of professional experience creating physically accurate, production-ready 3D materials and automotive renders — grounded by an MA in Automotive & Transport Design from Coventry University.
My pipeline spans Blender (expert, custom Python add-ons), Substance 3D Designer, Substance Painter, V-Ray and VRED — including material scanning, calibration, and validating digital materials against physical samples. I built commercial material libraries sold to studios globally and delivered bespoke solutions to clients including Iravanian Architecting Group.
Research drives every surface. HOPE WAV (Vital Auto) began with interviews with disabled users. HY-ENA (HPL) began with Moroccan architecture and Saharan landscape. Every surface has a reason.
