Dan Silva

I help clients tell stories through immersive design, whether that means conceptualizing/visualization in 2D or 3D, building interactive web experiences, or developing optimized assets for real-time engines. Using Blender, Unity, Unreal Engine, Figma, and WebGL pipelines, I deliver visuals that merge creativity with performance, often bridging the gap between physical and digital. Clients hire me to: • Visualize complex ideas for pitches, prototypes, and R&D • Build efficient real-time 3D assets for games, simulations, and live installations • Design UX/UI for interactive experiences that engage audiences across web, AR/VR, and physical spaces • Develop procedural and reusable systems with Geometry Nodes, shaders, and code • Translate narratives into compelling 3D scenes for brand activations or virtual storytelling

• 3D production lead for XR and webAR gamified experiences (Nike, AT&T, Lockheed Martin, LEGO), game development using Unity • Modeling, rigging, and animation of interactive props using Blender, 3DsMax and Maya from CAD models, integrated into Unity, organized & ensured models met quality standards • Designed motion, visual feedback, and interaction behaviors in Unity for complex, state-driven systems • Collaborated closely with UX designers, industrial designers, and engineers to ensure clarity, performance, and usability

• Creation of stylized/realistic 3D environments and interactive objects for large-scale installations • Development of Unity visuals for Super Nintendo World Japan, including shaders and environments • Responsible for visual development and technical optimization of several XR projects in Unity
