Background

About Douglas Short

With a rich and diverse background spanning over two decades, I have accumulated a wealth of experience encompassing conceptual sketching, industrial design, 3D modeling, animation, storyboarding, video editing, and graphic design. My passion for innovative thinking has been a driving force throughout my career, and creating awe-inspiring original designs has always been at the heart of what I do. From initial sketches to photo-realistic renderings, 3D printing, or animations, I possess the expertise to bring ideas to life with exceptional flair. Recently, my focus has been on creating photo-realistic product renderings for esteemed clients in the cannabis industry, including RYTHM, Beboe, incredibles, and Dogwalkers, showcasing my commitment to delivering high-quality work. However, my professional journey has also seen me excel as an industrial designer, particularly in designing captivating point-of-purchase retail displays for electronics, liquors, and prominent brand retail products, an area in which I have dedicated a significant portion of my career. Having extensive experience as a freelancer, I am well-versed in direct client interaction, and I take pride in my innate ability to understand their needs and consistently surpass their expectations. My career has been a remarkable blend of experiences, from collaborating with advertising and design agencies to contributing my skills in manufacturing and pharmaceutical companies. Versatility defines my skill set, enabling me to take a project from sketching and modeling to creating captivating graphics and preparing them for production, projections, multi-screen displays, 3D printing prototypes, and dynamic animations, including broadcast-quality movies. Throughout my journey, there are very few aspects of design and animation that I haven’t explored, and I relish every opportunity to venture into new territories, eagerly taking on new challenges. As a major design asset in every agency I’ve had the pleasure of working with, I am more than willing to provide references that attest to my exceptional track record. I invite you to explore some of my work, which I am confident will demonstrate my ability to elevate your design and animation needs to the next level. Looking forward to connecting with you, Doug
