The Mill Design Studio partnered with Google on their innovative global campaign, titled “Best Phones Forever,” showcasing a distinctive and playful bond of two very recognizable smartphones, the Pixel and iPhone.
I had the pleasure of working on 10 spots from the beloved youtube series throughout 2024. My roles varied from Lighting to look Dev, Animation, and simulation. I found my niche within this series as the scripts evolved and demanded costumes and custom props. I jumped into Marvelous Designer for garment creation and simulation, Zbrush to sculpt fine details, and Substance Painter to create bespoke shaders. Jumping through these disciplines quickly, I audited countless options for our internal and client approval.
