  • Take projects from initial concept and 3D modeling through rendering and final production
  • Convert 3D models and renders into polished flat digital assets optimized for web
  • Work within established brand guidelines and creative direction while contributing ideas for how concepts can best be represented visually
  • Collaborate asynchronously with creative and cross-functional stakeholders
  • Incorporate feedback from multiple stakeholders while maintaining visual consistency and quality
  • Potentially develop 3D animation or motion assets depending on project requirements and experience

  • Experience creating transparent, exploded, cutaway, architectural, or isometric visualizations
