As a Jewelry designer, I make my jewelry in many ways; it can be handmade, it can be modeled, printed and cast, or a mix of various techniques.

Throughout my career, people were sometimes hesitant about whether the physical jewelry is better or worse than the renders. I believe that my rendering skills are far less mastered than my jewelry-making and metalsmithing/ 3-D
