Design, 3D Modeling and Visualization for new consumer products, packaging and displays.

Design Concepts

I work with you to identify the target user and explore visual concepts of potential solutions of your new product, package or display. Once a direction is chosen, digital 3D CAD models and high resolution renderings are created to allow feedback from clients, users, and other stakeholders.

3D Modeling and Visualization

Through the use of digital 3D modeling, textures, logos and photo-realistic lighting, I create high-resolution images from design concepts, converting any conceptual design into a fully realized product to captivate your audience with its realistic appearance from any angle.

Companies need product visualization to help move their design ideas from concept to reality, providing a unique opportunity to visually engage with a product before it has been created. It gives them the ability to present their design concepts to investors, can analyze the performance of a product without significant outlay of cash for product creation, can adequately identify what resources will be needed to create the product, and accurately communicate the functionality of the product for sales and marketing.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Steve Hermosillo Chief Creative Officer at Advoque/Mosaic

"Russell is a full stack creative professional that brings a unique and greatly valued vision to projects we've worked on together. His attention to detail and ability to collaborate on solutions for our clients have elevated our pitches for retail packaging, displays, and environments. I've yet to feel like the ask is too high, or the challenges at hand too great."

Ken Geizler President at Keri Systems

 "We've worked with Russ on a number of projects and found him not only to be a great product designer but a welcome and able collaborator as well. In addition to our first released product which drew rave reviews from our customers at our last trade show, we will be using him on all of our future product concepts. He's not only the best designer that we've used but is also the easiest to work with."

Jocelyn Zecua Brand Supervisor at Brandtailers

"Its rare to find someone with such a high caliber of talent as Russ. I had the pleasure of meeting him when we subcontracted him for a few design projects at The CDM Company. Our assignments are usually crash and burn which makes it challenging for any designer but I'm constantly impressed at his ability to deliver innovative creative designs within days. In addition, he is extremely reliable and always responsive. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs creative services. You will not be disappointed."
