Olympic Recurve Bow Grips - CAD Design and Fabrication
For the 2024 Paris Olympics, I designed and produced custom archery bow grips for Team USA Archers Catalina Gnoriega (world ranking 36) and Jackson Mirich (world ranking 32) at the Pan American Games (gold and silver medals).
Using Autodesk Fusion 360, I designed each grip to the unique hand geometry and performance preferences of the athletes, ensuring optimal comfort and precision. The final products were created through a combination of high-resolution 3D printing and resin casting, resulting in durable, competition-ready grips. This project combined advanced digital fabrication techniques with athlete-specific customization to support peak performance on the world stage.
Tools Used:
Autodesk Fusion 360, Blender, Polycam, Bambu Studio

Lens of the Cosmos - Science Animation
From Walkmans to Wearables
From Walkmans to Wearables creates a visual timeline showcasing the evolution of personal electronics from the 1970s to the near future (2025). Each device was selected for its technological development and widespread adoption into society.
During their retrospective timeframes, these devices created a novel environment for users to consume and interact with digital media. Evolution of Media Devices highlights the progression of these technologies over the last five decades.
This animation showcases the Sony Walkman, Apple Machintosh, Nintendo Game Boy, Apple iPhone, Apple Watch, Oculus Rift VR, and Meta Orion smart glasses.
Tools Used:
Blender, Autodesk Fusion 360, Adobe Substance Painter
Earthlight - VR Gallery Experience
Earthlight is a VR Experience developed by Dr. Sian Proctor and ASU MIX Center. This project serves to showcase many of Dr. Proctor’s artworks and poetry in a virtual gallery environment. Additionally it highlights the “earthlight effect” where astronauts are often struck by their place in the universe and an animated musical performance by MaryLiz Bender.
I created the ship bridge environment, where the player is introduced to Afrobotica, our humanoid robot guide, and experiences the first glimpse of the earthlight effect.
Tools Used:
Unity, Blender, Autodesk Fusion 360, Adobe Substance Painter, Adobe, Photoshop, Github
Scottsdale Water Treatment - VR Educational Experience
Scottsdale Water Treatment is a VR experience exploring the stages of Scottsdale’s water filtration systems in an interactive game format.
I developed the introduction office environment, which serves to introduce the player to the experience objectives, holographic map of the Scottsdale water treatment facility, water filtration diagram, and interior pipe scenes.
