3D DESIGNER &
ART DIRECTOR
AS A 3D ARTIST, DESIGNER AND ART DIRECTOR, I CREATE UNIQUE VISUALS AND STORIES INSPIRED BY ART, FASHION AND EVERYDAY LIFE. MY PASSION FOR CREATIVITY DRIVES ME TO EXPLORE NEW POSSIBILITIES IN BOTH BRAND COLLABORATIONS AND PERSONAL PROJECTS.
I'M LUCA
MANCARI
I'M A MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGNER WITH A FOCUS ON MOTION DESIGN, ART DIRECTION AND 3D VISUALIZATION. I BRING IDEAS TO LIFE THROUGH ANIMATION, STRONG VISUAL STORYTELLING AND DETAILED DIGITAL ENVIRONMENTS. MY MAIN TOOLS INCLUDE BLENDER, MARVELOUS DESIGNER, HOUDINI AND THE ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD, ALONGSIDE DAVINCI RESOLVE FOR VIDEO EDITING.
WHETHER IT'S ANIMATED PRODUCT VISUALS OR POLISHED STILLS, I AIM TO CREATE WORK THAT FEELS ATMOSPHERIC, PLAYFUL AND VISUALLY REFINED - ALWAYS WITH AN EYE FOR MOOD, LIGHTING AND COHESIVE DESIGN.
MY SKILLS
EXPERIENCE
I'VE BEEN WORKING AS A FREELANCE 3D ARTIST, GRAPHIC DESIGNER AND ART DIRECTOR SINCE 2022, CREATING VISUAL CONTENT FOR BRANDS SUCH AS XING, SNIPES, KANGAROOS AND BALLER LEAGUE. MY MAIN FOCUS LIES IN COLLABORATING WITH LIFESTYLE-DRIVEN CLIENTS, BRINGING TOGETHER STORYTELLING, DESIGN AND PLAYFUL VISUALS.
ALONGSIDE BRANDS, I'VE ALSO WORKED WITH AGENCIES LIKE ALTBAU CREATIVE STUDIOS AND APPELNOWITZKI, SUPPORTING THEM IN ART DIRECTION AND VISUAL DEVELOPMENT. I'M EXPERIENCED IN TIGHT DEADLINES, HIGHLY FAMILIAR WITH REMOTE WORKFLOWS AND CONFIDENT WORKING ACROSS MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS.
WHETHER IT'S 3D PRODUCT ANIMATIONS, CAMPAIGN VISUALS OR MOTION DESIGN, I APPROACH EACH PROJECT WITH A KEEN EYE FOR DETAIL AND ADAPTABILITY. I'VE REALIZED PROJECTS IN COLLABORATION WITH PHOTOGRAPHERS, VIDEOGRAPHERS AND FELLOW 3D ARTISTS, ALWAYS AIMING TO CREATE VISUALLY COMPELLING RESULTS THAT RESONATE.
I STUDIED TIME-BASED MEDIA AT HOCHSCHULE MAINZ, WHERE I COMPLETED MY BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN JANUARY 2025. DURING MY STUDIES, I EXPLORED VARIOUS AREAS SUCH AS ANIMATION, CREATIVE DIRECTION AND FILMMAKING. THE PROGRAM GAVE ME SPACE TO EXPERIMENT AND REFINE MY SKILLS IN STORYTELLING, VISUAL LANGUAGE AND DIGITAL DESIGN.

FOR THE IMMERSIVE LIGHT & ART EXPERIENCE "MAINZ LEUCHTET"
I LOVE TO EXPLORE IDEAS FREELY! SOME PROJECTS EXIST PURELY TO EXPERIMENT, LEARN AND PUSH CREATIVE BOUNDARIES. THIS IS WHERE I TEST NEW TECHNIQUES, DEVELOP CONCEPTS AND EXPLORE VISUALS WITHOUT CONSTRAINTS.
IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH CLIENTS, I APPROACH EACH PROJECT DESIGNING WITH PURPOSE, FOCUSING ON CLEAR COMMUNICATION, STRONG VISUAL IDENTITY AND EMOTIONAL STORYTELLING TO TURN IDEAS INTO VISUALS THAT CONNECT WITH AUDIENCES.
