Twentieth Century Fox Television "Rosewood" 2015
Meet Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Junior, the most brilliant private pathologist in Miami, who uses his wildly sophisticated autopsy lab, to perform for-hire autopsies to uncover clues that the Miami PD can’t see.
I had the great fortune of working as Set Designer with acclaimed Art Director George Goodridge, Production Designer Cece DeStefano, Construction Coordinator Mike Metzel and the best production crew in the business, on the coolest looking show to come along in many years.

My 3D rendering of superhero concept costume and props,
for a web based video series working title "Black Widow".
Features include body armor and mechanical arms that serve
as weapons platform.
These
menacing appendages will also capture her prey and enable
her to climb and grasp architectural
structures for optimum position,
leaving her hands free to operate conventional weapons,
as well as electronic countermeasures like signal jamming,
surveillance and communications devices.

Mechanical Drawings for Univision
These
are two different designs I created for a motorized
monitor bracket, for "Lente Loco" show on
Univision Network. The design called for the actuators
and electrical components needed to drive the brackets
be hidden and still maintain a sleek, retro, aerodynamic
look. The bracket also needed to articulate in multiple
positions and be strong enough to accommodate the weight
of a large flat screen monitor and not sway or rock
excessively when in motion.

case studies for 3d models.

news show airing in the U.S. and over twenty countries
on the Galavision network.
The
set features plasma monitors, recessed neon lighting
and light boxes with interchangeable back lit graphics.
This set shares a studio with five other shows, so it
all strikes into a small truck and can roll away with
built in wheeled platforms.
The set design modeled in Vectorworks 10, included floor plan, elevations and construction
drawings, with 3d model renderings. Entire design was
delivered to shop via email. Because of my twenty seven
