At Merola Tile Distributors of America, I was tasked with creating realistic mock-ups to showcase product in themed scenes. I sourced the stock images, masked out the backgrounds, and hand-painted lighting while using unique methods to create realistic texture maps. The most exciting part about this role was discovering new techniques for each product.
I also created templates to be used for over 500 products in order to show patterns, scale, and grout colors options. I utilized Adobe Photoshop’s Smart Objects to optimize my workflow.
