Tools with a purpose
ZBrush and Blender are central to my workflow. AI can help create a starting point when it suits the brief, and manual digital sculpting is always an option.

A DIGITAL SCULPTING PRACTICE
From the smallest detail
to the whole silhouette.
I work across custom digital sculpture, portraiture, character modeling, relief, and files prepared for 3D printing. Some projects begin with a photograph. Others start with a sketch, an existing mesh, or an idea that needs to be explored.
Years of working with digital form have taught me to look beyond surface detail. Expression, proportion, balance, and the way a sculpture is seen all matter. I use ZBrush and Blender to bring those decisions into the model.
Atelier Forma brings that practice into one place: a direct relationship between you and the digital sculptor building your model. Print preparation is available now; physical 3D printing services are coming soon.

FORM AT EVERY SCALE
A digital model changes
with the way we see it.
My research has explored the enlargement of sculpture, viewing distance, and the importance of proportion at monumental scale. I have also prepared teaching material on traditional and digital enlargement methods.
That attention to scale informs how I approach a project: what will be seen, from where, and how the intended size affects the design.

Careful decisions. Personal responsibility.
My eye on every model
I personally inspect the final work, refine forms and surfaces, and address the agreed modeling or print-preparation requirements before delivery.
A direct collaboration
We agree on references, scope, file formats, revisions, and timing before work begins. If a detail is unclear, I ask rather than promise an automatic result.
