My Journey
In my own words
From a borrowed laptop to walkthroughs, VR and AI: more than twelve years of learning, told the way it happened.
Curiosity
“It began with curiosity… and a borrowed laptop.”
An animation course introduced me to the basics. Afterwards, I wanted to discover what I could make myself.
First models
“Before I had a job, I spent nights making cars and motorbikes.”
They were imperfect. But I was proud I could make them.
Groundwork
“Then came three months of AutoCAD, simple 3D models and renders.”
And, at nineteen, a few months in data entry.
Starting from zero
“When I joined the company, I was making 3D in AutoCAD.”
Still, I felt like I was starting from zero. I wanted to grow.
Self-taught
In 2013, I took a month off for my graduation exams, then returned to work.
“From then on, YouTube, other learning platforms, and daily practice became my teachers.”
Persistence
“Trying. Getting stuck. Trying again.”
Twelve years
“Over more than twelve years, I’ve grown mainly within one company.”
Spending a year and a half at another along the way.
The craft
“Gradually, I built my skills in…”
- Architectural imagery
- Cinematic animation
- Real-time walkthroughs
- VR
- And now, AI
Even today
“Even today, I get stuck.”
When time runs short, it feels overwhelming. But I believe I’ll find a way. So I keep trying.
Looking back
“Those first imperfect models helped build me.”
I’m proud of how far I’ve come.
Still learning
