About Me

Hi! I'm Ava Smith, a 3D artist specializing in character and prop modeling. Inspired by role-playing games and stylized characters, I utilize a deep knowledge of 3D programs to bring character concepts off the page and into interactive spaces.

I'm passionate about creating high-quality 3D models that tell stories and engage audiences. My work spans from detailed character sculpting to environment modeling, with a focus on bringing creative visions to life through technical expertise and artistic vision.

Currently, I'm completing my B.S. in Kinetic Imaging with a Game Art focus at Western Michigan University. I'm driven by a commitment to creating immersive experiences and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in 3D art.

Whether working on professional projects or personal portfolio pieces, I bring dedication, creativity, and technical skill to every project. Let's collaborate and create something amazing together!
