⋆ Designing for the Stars ⋆

The pleasure of being part of Airworks Inflatables for 5 years is immense and has been an unforgettable experience. Here I got to work with incredible artists and help bring to life their ideas and dreams for their shows. Learning the methods and real-life workings of how to build an inflatable sculpture from scratch, to creating high-resolution meshes, textures, and giving the inflatables their final look to help sell the illusion of it being something more than a blown-up piece of fabric.

From talking with the clients, designing the possibilities of the project, sculpting hi-res meshes, creating the realistic textures & materials, communicating with the sewing atelier about technicalities, making the actual patterns for the atelier to sew, and sometimes helping with the installation on site. These were all part of my daily tasks as a 3D-designer at Airworks. Working in a big team of amazingly talented people, and seeing something go from the computer screen to a 30-meter-high object you can walk around and touch was something that never got old.

Underneath, you will find a small portion of projects I got to work on in my 5 years at Airworks Inflatables. I hope you will enjoy seeing them as much as I enjoyed helping create them.
