rendered real.

Works
Five products. One studio. Each modeled from the inside out, lit like a photo shoot, and given a moment of motion. Electronic products — 2024–2025.
echoe2
Sound you can hold.
A palm-sized portable speaker designed around touch. The dimpled rubber shell grips the hand while a recessed steel-blue basin cradles four flush controls — and a single orange node that wakes it with a tap. Crystal-clear sound and deep bass in a sleek, compact body.

RTX-200
Always ready.
A rugged everyday smartwatch built to keep up. A molten pixel display, fitness tracking, and seamless device sync sit behind toughened glass, wrapped in a machined link band made to take a beating and still look sharp.

ALWAYS READY
SYNC
In perfect sync.
Over-ear headphones with a matte-black shell and a molten-orange ring that lights when they're live. Tuned for full, immersive sound and shaped to disappear on the head — presence you feel, hardware you forget.

AUKEY
Light, reduced.
A minimal task lamp in AUKEY's visual language: a wafer-thin LED head balanced on a slim stem, anchored by a weighted base that doubles as a dock. A touch slider glides it from warm to bright — light pared back to its essentials, in three finishes for any desk.

Nexacore
Built around feel.
A low-profile keyboard that puts feel first — soft rounded keycaps, a hushed travel, and a single signal-orange key that anchors the layout. Minimal on the desk, precise under the hand: a tool built to disappear into the work.

See it all move.
Every product, cut into one reel. Best with sound.
Add your reel: open index.html, find const REEL in the script, and paste a YouTube or Vimeo id. The MP4s above are already cut from your animations — string them together for the full reel.
A product designer who renders his own concepts into being.
