Construction Breakdown A deconstructed version of the model for manufacturer submission.

Industrial Tea Steeper 3D Model

Using calipers to measure all parts from a tea steeper, I created a 3D model to the specifications of the real object. I used Rhino and Grasshopper to model and render.

"The Name of the Wind" Cover and Spine First cover in the trilogy. Using photo-bashing as a base and a digitally painted graphic design, this cover brings a new energy to the tale of Patrick Rothfuss' failed hero.

"The Wise Man's Fear" Cover and Spine Second cover in the trilogy. This design plays off the motifs established in the first cover and turns the energy of the wind into a fearsome aura.

"The Doors of Stone" Cover and Spine Third cover in the trilogy. The diminutive tone brings the unusual downward tone of this story to a close. This book is yet unpublished.

Dynamic Render A render composition suited for marketing use.

Spine Show-off Render A render designed to show off all aspects of the design.

Stacked Render A render of stacked books for alternative marketing purposes.

Nest Bed Adjustable Design

This 3D coding project, for Bryan Cera's OBDF 310A class, was an exercise in adjustable design. For my project, I made a circular bed design with many togglable features, all of which are adjustable. Such features include a headboard, shelving, bedding feet, and more. I also created eight menus for myself to adjust things easier, I have included the largest as an example. For the final I took the Bed base from rhino and decorated it in blender for final renders using materials and cloth physics.
