The Lab

Things I build to stay sharp

Side projects in 3D, XR and creative coding. They're where I try new tools before I bring them into product work.

3D modeling. A textured building and street props, modeled and textured from scratch.

Detail. The fire hydrant, with its own diffuse and normal maps.
Game environment. A real-time 3D level built for my game design and 3D modeling class.

AR anatomy project: a QR code beside an anatomical illustration of the stomach used as an image anchor
Augmented anatomy. Scanning an anatomical illustration brings up an AR model on a phone.
AR butterfly. An interactive AR scene, built and tested on a phone.
Character animation. Rigging and a walk cycle.
Animation exercise. Timing and easing on simple forms.

Creative coding

Small generative pieces built in Processing, using classes, arrays and loops. Each one plays as you scroll to it.

Waves. A calming flow field.
Icebreaker. An object-oriented grid of boxes.
The Calanit. Poppies morphing through their life cycle.
Self portrait. Bezier curves drawn from image pixels.
Rubik reimagined. A cube that explodes on hover and recolors by key.
