Yoan Tsonev

About

I am an automotive designer and CG artist with a strong foundation in 3D visualization, product design, and creative supervision. Having worked on full-scale vehicle development at Astheimer Design, including the award-winning Volta Zero, I brings hands-on expertise in translating design intent into high-fidelity digital experiences. My multidisciplinary background spans exterior design, 3D modeling (NURBs and Poly), rendering, prototyping , reverse engineering and design for manufacture — blending aesthetic precision with technical execution.
