3D Modeling and Concept Rendering
📍 LOS ANGELES, CA | ORLANDO, FLI’ve always gravitated toward futuristic, optimistic pre-visualized concepts. Being a lover of all things Disney, I often focus my designs and ideas on fantastical new attractions or themed environments that could be found in a park. I take a big, bold idea from initial rough sketch, to refined illustration, base 3D modeling, and final concept rendering. This process typically can be as quick as a few hours, or take a few days to perfect. My goal, however, is to always materialize a lightning bolt of an idea as quickly as possible.

Fantastically Disney
Disney Cruises in the Sky
Where will Disney Cruise Line take us on its 100th anniversary? A voyage among the stars? ✨
Perhaps the Disney Discovery, a space-faring vessel in the Voyager class of ships, will take us on a 12-day journey to Disney’s Lunar Bay. Situated on a quaint crater basin on the surface of the Moon, this multi-day port adventure would offer out-of-this-world fun for explorers of all ages.
Stargazing and s’mores alongside your favorite Disney characters, experiencing weightlessness in the Grand Solarium, and movies under the stars every night. Would you sail the cosmos with Disney?
Playfully Architectural
I’ve also always loved designing, modeling, and exploring bustling, dynamic cityscapes.
Tiny worlds for wandering
In my cityscape work, I try to design narrow alleyways and thoroughfares reminiscent of real-life, dense and mixed-use urban environments. I love being able to navigate through them visually, creating unique atmospheres that can each serve to tell stories.
Playfully stacked architecture
A stylistic preference for my architectural modeling is structural stacking, similar to the geography-constrained villages most prominent in the Mediterranean and Middle East. The intricacies of multi-level navigation and the unique spaces it creates are what draws me most to the style.
A Storybook Castle
Once inspiration strikes…
It’s fun to latch on and just go for the ride.
Schwerin Castle in Germany first pulled me in with its striking two-tone exterior. A high-contrast, unmistakably royal color profile: golden walls, accented with sharp, dark rooftops and gilded trims. My eyes locked onto it from several blocks away.
The walls themselves are lined with windows enmeshed in this rigid facade that looks like an exoskeleton. Relieved ornaments and columns lend strength and authority to the structure.
Process
I knew I wanted to spend time with it – to study it, draw it, and play with its form in 3D. After sketching a base model, I decided to mold it into the traditional style of a fairytale castle. I lifted its profile to draw the eye toward a singular tower raised high above the rest.

Themed Environments
An overhead rail system for a Star Wars themed environment
A “Cargomover” for a desert outpost…
I’ve always loved the kinetic energy infused into Disney’s themed lands through large scale attractions and transport systems like the monorail, railroad, peoplemover, speedway/autopia, etc.⠀
What if Black Spire Outpost had a similar transit system? Perhaps it could have been designed to move cargo like luggage and raw materials for traveling merchants. Over time, it might have been repurposed by locals to transport people. Or maybe visitors began using it to move from place to place surreptitiously. ⠀
Would you ride the Cargomover around Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge? ⠀
