Bio: I graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in digital art from New York University. Since 2010 I’ve been working with the Advanced Media Studio at NYU to assess, fix, and create 3D printed works for a large variety of clients including surgeons, dentists, designers, artists, and engineers throughout the NYU community. My own work relies heavily on 3D-printing as well, so most of my experience comes from the models I make myself and have printed. I have hands-on experience with a variety of printers (from lo-def to HD) including the Zcorp 650, Connex 500 by Stratasys, Projet 7000, and even small RepRaps including the Makerbot and some printers that I’ve built myself. I’m adept at working with the specific limitations of a variety of printers and the modeling requirements to create great prints at efficient costs.

Services Offered: 3D modeling, file repair, and 3D scanning.

3D Modeling Specialties: I specialize in realistic and organic forms, from photos or sketches. However, I do have experience in engineering.

3D Software Used: ZBrush, Maya, Solidworks, Cinema 4D, Rhino.

References from previous clients:

Sarah Awad:
“Dhemerae has been an incredible pleasure to work with. Her knowledge of modeling is extensive but always specific, and her troubleshooting skills are truly off the charts. Our last project was nothing but problematic, but she carried the project during this time, finding solutions to move us forward. Together with her fresh creativity and keen sense of design, she is a truly well-rounded maker.”

Ronnie Two:
“I had Dhemerae model something very specific for me and she blew my expectations out of the water. She was quick, efficient, and really knew her stuff. She works hard and really cares about the work she does.”

Haley Mellin:
“I hired Dhemerae to fix and add to a 3D scan I had done for an exhibition. She was able to finish the project in time, and it looked great!”
