Hey there!
Thanks for stopping by
I'm a 3D Generalist & Motion Designer located in Brooklyn, New York. I've been working in 3D & motion for over 5 years as a freelancer, in agencies, and in-house.
Since 2022 I have taught at NYU Tandon's Integrated Design & Media program, as well as Parsons School of Design's Industrial & Product Design program.
I'm a passionate viewer of B-movies and kung-fu classics, lover of niche fashion from India and Japan, and unapologetically annoying NYC cyclist. I have a dog named Kona, and in my free time you can find me mending tattered jeans, baking bread, or workshopping my long-shot class idea "Design and Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit" (They haven't taken me up on it)
My Story
2013-2017
I attended NYU Tandon School of Engineering from 2013 to 2017, in the Integrated Digital Media program. I started with a focus on creative coding for the web and game development, but discovered a passion for animation and soon found myself binging tutorials on After Effects and C4D, learning about rendering, dynamics, and visual effects.
2018
From 2017-2018 I worked as an assistant at Lyle O. Reitzel Gallery, a Dominican art gallery in the Lower East Side. In addition to managing works & openings, I designed flyers, e-mail blasts, and vinyl cut signs for openings while continuing to develop my skills in 3D and animation
In mid 2018, I got my first job in 3D at Just Wireless, where I worked with their Talkworks brand. I created product models, renders, and product comps & infographics for use on Amazon and other e-commerce platforms
2019-2020
In 2019, I began my MFA in Industrial Design at Parsons School of Design. While studying at Parsons, I refined my understanding of form and material, developed my skills in sketching, parametric modeling, and learned about fabrication, 3D printing, and other off-computer skills.
2021
After completing my MFA remotely while living in Chicago, I worked with Studio Fynn to create renders for Icon, their fashion-focused fitness wearable
In the fall of 2021 I began working with Icon Incar, a german automotive UX firm. I worked with clients like Ford, creating animations and assets for in-car center-stack displays and AR HUDs. Unfortunately, due to the confidentiality of these projects, I have no remaning artifacts of my work here
2022
I started teaching at NYU's IDM program, the same one I graduated from in 2017, in Spring 2022. My first class was "3D Design for Interactive Applications"
Later this year I would teach "Motion Graphics Studio" and "Virtual Enhancements" at NYU as well as "Product Design Sketching" and "Advanced Modeling Methods" in Parsons' Industrial & Product Design program.
Throughout 2022, I worked with Lineage Digital, a creative agency in Los Angeles, doing 2D and 3D motion design for clients like Niantic, Momentum Solar, Medable, and FIGS
2023
In 2023, I've taken some time to work on personal projects including an upcoming font! I am continuing to teach, and always looking for new opportunities and collaborators. If you liked my story and want to work together, shoot me a line at edan@artehaus.io
I hope to hear from you soon!
Let's work together
