3D Rendering

I started 3D rendering in early 2000's creating renderings of objet d' art and jewellery in New Bond Street London. This industry was mostly dominated by traditional artists which was very time-consuming, expensive and wasn't able to give the client an accurate representation of what their end product would look like.

Print Design
