Work Experience

3D Graphic Designer

Surreal Entertainment - Wooster, OH February 2023 to Present

This job is part of an extremely fast paced work environment in which I  create 3D models for merchandise of a very wide variety of characters and objects from popular media licenses. This requires making custom materials for textures and compile renders and item information into blueprints which are used for production.

I communicate with the the design team, the sales team, the international production team, and the international vendors and guide the vendors through well thought out visual and textual instruction to maintain as much quality as possible throughout the pre-production process and come up with solutions to make the process easier and more efficient.

The position requires you to be able to constantly change focuses and make sudden revisions on extremely short timelines. Which takes a lot of organizational ability and patience.

I am also responsible for controlling the quality of the 3D team's projects from design to production, which often requires me to make revisions for the project to be completed with all of the company policies, licensing, legal requirements, and production ability and quality in mind.
