ABOUT

Designers dream about having their creative ideas come to life. After losing my UX Design job in 2023, I have since been rejected by over 500 companies. So, I decided to hire myself. This page contains my design process artifacts to final products. I have made over 250 sales with my original product designs. After the many failed ideas and growing experiences, my business has grown exponentially. Turns out, I was a pretty good design team hire.

  • Clip Studio Paint for sketching, illustrations, and digital painting (Adobe Photoshop Alternative)

3d Printing

I set up supports for the miniature to be printed on a resin printer, like my Phrozen 3D printer. I used Lychee to create the supports. After a few rounds of back and forth because the supports were not correct, I finally printed out the final version.
