Michael Barker
Industrial Designer — Denver, CO
About
My name is Michael and I am an Industrial Designer with a love for creating computer-aided concept imagery. I love 3DS Max. I love modeling products and architecture, creating textures, staging photographic lighting and rendering realistic images.
I was introduced to modeling and rendering with computer programs at The Art Institute of Colorado in 2003 and have since always strived to create the most realistic images technology would allow.
