Graphic and Digital Design: Bringing Concepts to Life with Expertise from Sketch to Realistic Visualization

Alfred Durante the renowned designer known for his work with Cartier, created stunning jewelry pieces. I had the privilege of transforming several of his original illustrations into Facebook videos. This is one of these pieces of his original jewelry design for Bradford jewelry line, is a stacking ring, which I envisioned in 3D and created a realistic virtual render of. It was an incredible experience to meet him in person.
