About
Hi – my names Sirina and I am a New Zealand based 3D Generalist!
I have a passion for creating, and enjoy both the technical and creative aspects of industry work.
My formal journey with 3D began in 2015 at Media Design School. I finished in 2017 with a Bachelor of Art and Design focusing on Technical Directing.
Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working on very creative and inspiring cutting-edge projects.
This includes creating digital twins in a real-time pipeline, product development, AI research and implementation, real-time environment building for LED walls, and asset creation / modelling / lighting / rendering for film.
I’m currently on the look-out for future opportunities, and would love to chat more!
