Sponsors: Greenhouse Studios, Fernando Alvarez Gallery

Internship

In lieu of a senior project, I completed multiple internships during my junior and senior year of college. I worked with Thomas Lee at UConn's Greenhouse Studios on a virtual environment project, Charles VR. In this interactive experience, a recreation of the coronation of Charles V of Bologna is experienced in first person through a headset and motion-based hand controls. Integrated into a multidisciplinary team, my contributions to the project ranged from recreating background assets to designing characters inspired from era-specific paintings and literature.

Additionally, I worked at Fernando Alvarez Gallery in Berlin, Connecticut, where I completed multiple digital renderings of sculptures within the gallery through the use of animation tools and parametric modeling software. These two experiences will prove to be strong stepping stones into my future career as a 3D artist.
