Props
This page is to highlight the props I've developed over the years in my personal hobbies. Each project allowed me the opportunity to experiment and hone new skills including: project finishing, weathering, and hand-held electronics integration.

Daredevil Helmet
Daredevil has always been one of my favorite characters featured in the pop culture landscape. I decided to make this helmet in preparation for MegaCon 2023. I actually had the opportunity to have it signed by actor Charlie Cox (who portrayed the blind lawyer in the hit Netflix series). The helmet was entirely 3D printed, while the lenses were made using red window tint over a clear plastic folder I cut to fit the shape of the eye openings.
This project was actually made in anticipation for the new Tron: Light Cycle Run opening at the Walt Disney World Resort in 2023. The jacket uses EL-Tape for its lights while the disc is 3D printed with Neopixels installed inside for its lights. It is also powered by a fuel rod (which I decided to use as a battery as I can swap it out for free for a fully charged one at multiple stations in Magic Kingdom).
This hat was designed using Blender and had 75 addressable LEDs. I decided to complete this project in time for EPCOT's 40th anniversary I programmed 4 show sequences for the hat to cycle thru.
Following Bust
Empower
Growth
Who says a bust that follows you isn't spooky? This bust was designed based on a scan of my face. Unfortunately, I had to reflect half of my face to get the proper effect as it works best when the bust is perfectly symmetrical.
This project was my first with projection mapping. After smoothing all the busts I was able to use MapMap projection mapping software to align their faces. This was a perfect addition to my Halloween decorations!
