NLE The Great - KO (Official Short Film)

3D Printing, Digital Sculpting, Prototyping

A digital sculpture art piece featuring multiple faces with dreadlock-like hair intertwined with snake sculptures, set against a black background.

For NLE Choppa's (NLE The Great) official short film 'KO,' I was referred by sculptor David Simon to create the severed, Medusa-style head the artist holds in the final scene, a piece that called for digital sculpting and 3D printing, rather than a traditional build. With under a two week turnaround, I prototyped, digitally sculpted, 3D-printed, and assembled the piece, which Mike Pflaumer then painted to read as a cast bronze sculpture, delivered ready for the shoot.

3D Systems, in partnership with United Therapeutics, was developing 'Print to Perfusion,' a bioprinting process for growing replacement lungs from 3D-printed scaffolds at their San Diego lab. Working through Gentle Giant Studios, I created this trachea model, designed as protein 3D-printed scaffolding that could support bioprinting lung tissue, which was tested with their team.

AT Hauler for Solo: A Star Wars Story

Hard Surface Model

A detailed model of a spaceship with tall vertical structures on each side, resembling wings, painted mostly white with some red and black accents, set against a dark background.

Solo: A Star Wars Story is Lucasfilm's 2018 spin-off film. Working through Gentle Giant Studios, I received a concept file from Lucasfilm for an AT Hauler that wasn't print-ready, and remodeled the hard surface geometry for rapid prototyping. The final piece is on display at Disney's Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. All designs and materials shown belong to Lucasfilm/Disney.

Sneaker Bar for Nike Live

The Sneaker Bar is a centerpiece fixture at Nike Live, the brand's 2018 concept store on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, styled after a cafe or bar where customers get personalized footwear recommendations from an in-store expert. Working through Gentle Giant Studios, I received a Google SketchUp file that needed remodeling, and rebuilt it to prep the hard surface geometry for 3D printing.
