Portfolio: [HNZLR.LA](http://hnzlr.la/) Audio-Visual Art: [FORMLANGUAGE.IO](http://formlanguage.io/) | [instagram.com/form.language](http://instagram.com/form.lnaguage) With over a decade of industry experience, I am a production designer, creative director, and 3D specialist creating high-impact designs for world-class clients, including Goldenvoice, Do LaB, Adidas, FX, SHOWTIME, Sony, Apple Music Japan, Insomniac, SXSW, and TikTok. Known for transforming complex creative visions into tangible experiences, I lead teams and deliver immersive environments for live events, virtual productions, and branded spaces. My work spans collaborations with artists such as Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Shakira, Mariah Carey, A$AP Rocky, Tokimonsta, Moby, Common, and Twista. I thrive in both independent and collaborative environments, providing everything from creative direction and production design to high-quality 3D rendering, CAD modeling, technical drawing, and interactive visualizations. This versatility allows me to transition seamlessly between leading large-scale productions and delivering specialized technical support. I foster team synergy by leveraging advanced skills in parametric CAD modeling (Rhino, Grasshopper), real-time rendering (Unreal Engine), and media system integration (TouchDesigner, Ableton Live). My expertise extends to cinematic production, where I integrate dynamic virtual camera work and lighting design to create powerful visual narratives. Whether developing sculptural stage environments, interactive installations, or cinematic virtual productions, I maintain a focus on precision, clarity, and creative excellence. In 2020, I founded FORM LANGUAGE, a new media platform exploring the intersection of Unreal Engine, TouchDesigner, and Ableton Live for audio-visual art. My work has been exhibited across Japan, Australia, Brazil, New York, and California, and commissioned by high-profile clients worldwide, demonstrating my ability to deliver transformative, cross-disciplinary projects on an international scale.
