I definitely want to start there just with your creative pursuits and endeavors and ask if you could share how you got started working in 3D and how technologies influenced your style and process.

Yeah, absolutely.

So I've always been a nerd when it comes to the creative stuff.

I just have loved exploring various forms of art all my life, whether that's just doodling or photography or anything in that space.

So I've just been diving into a lot of different areas all my life.

But I remember being really curious about like certain commercials I would see on TV like Nike and Apple do this a lot where they have stuff like floating in midair and there's a shoe that's inflating in a way where you're like, how the heck would they have done that or filmed that or whatever? So like two and a half years ago or so, I remember just kind of diving in and trying to look up like how some of that stuff was done and just how the heck people were creating some of these simulations and things on screen.

And that led me just down a rabbit hole of YouTube tutorials on Blender, which is like a free 3D program that people can use.

We were talking about a project and we were like, yeah, we need to use every reality but the real one to make So long way to ask this question, but I'm just curious how you see utilizing technology as a help to how we engage in our physical world and in our actual reality and also how it could be a hindrance.
