Enzo Garnier

3D Toy and Character Design Specialist

Mar 2024 - Present • 2 yrs 7 mos

I develop custom toy and character design concepts for clients interested in original collectibles, playful product ideas, stylized creatures, and 3D-printable models. My service areas include plushie concepts, squishy toys, articulated animal toys, collectible characters, and custom 3D models. I aim to translate a client's references and ideas into distinctive designs that balance visual appeal with the intended purpose of the project. My approach begins with reviewing the brief, understanding the target audience, and identifying the desired style, proportions, features, and final use. Depending on the project scope, the work may involve concept development, shape refinement, character detailing, articulation planning, and preparation of suitable three-dimensional assets. Where 3D printing is required, the agreed specifications should address factors such as part separation, clearances, wall thickness, model integrity, and the intended printing method. I also communicate with clients about file formats, model complexity, revisions, and the difference between a visual concept and a model prepared for physical production. Deliverables should match the agreed package and may include rendered previews, model files, or STL exports when these are included in the service. Relevant achievements should be supported by actual projects, portfolio examples, or client feedback. My goal is to provide thoughtful design solutions, maintain a clear project workflow, and help clients develop original toy and character concepts that are suitable for their intended applications.

Product Packaging and Label Designer

May 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 5 mos

I work on product packaging and visual design concepts that help businesses present their products professionally. My services include product labels, peptide vial labels, packaging boxes, pouches, bags, and three-dimensional product mockups. I focus on creating visually consistent designs that communicate product identity, organize essential information, and support a cohesive brand presentation across different packaging formats. My design process begins with understanding the client's product, intended audience, visual direction, and packaging requirements. I then develop design concepts, refine layouts, select suitable typography and colors, and prepare presentation mockups that help clients visualize how the packaging may look before production. I aim to maintain consistency across related packaging items while adapting each layout to its intended format. My responsibilities include interpreting creative briefs, developing design variations, responding to feedback, and preparing agreed deliverables in the required formats. I also pay attention to legibility, visual hierarchy, and the practical presentation of packaging concepts. Relevant achievements should be added here only when verifiable, such as completed client projects, successful packaging presentations, repeat customers, or a portfolio of approved designs. My goal is to provide organized design work, communicate clearly throughout each project, and help clients move from an initial idea to a polished packaging concept.

Digital Artist and Streaming Graphics Designer

Apr 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 6 mos

I create digital artwork and character-focused assets for online creators, streamers, gaming communities, and virtual content projects. My areas of interest and service include Twitch emotes, subscriber badges, Discord stickers, Kick emotes, VTuber character concepts, VRChat avatars, and stylized 3D anime characters. I focus on visual identity, expressive details, and designs that suit the intended platform and community. For streaming graphics, I develop concepts that communicate emotions clearly and help creators maintain a recognizable visual style. I consider expression, silhouette, color consistency, and readability when designing emotes and badges intended to appear at small sizes. For character projects, I work toward a cohesive appearance by considering the character's personality, visual references, clothing, proportions, and intended use. My project workflow involves reviewing client instructions, discussing the desired style, preparing or refining visual concepts, and making revisions based on agreed feedback. For three-dimensional character work, the final scope should clearly state whether the delivery includes a concept, a 3D model, rigging, or other technical requirements. Relevant achievements can include completed creator commissions, approved emote sets, finished character models, and examples from a portfolio. I aim to help clients develop recognizable digital assets while maintaining clear communication, organized delivery, and a consistent visual direction throughout each project.
