Sonos Speaker Renders
The Alexa+ team requested high-quality 3D renders to support an upcoming device launch. The scope involved working with a variety of incoming file formats (.max, .stp, and layered PSDs) and ensuring brand alignment across channels. The project also introduced the opportunity to explore an AI-based rendering tool as part of the workflow.

My role was to create production-ready renders that maintained Alexa’s visual standards while navigating a wide range of input formats. In addition to the design work, I was responsible for:
Rapidly building expertise in updated Cinema 4D and CAD importer workflows.
Establishing a consistent rendering pipeline across different file types.
Providing clarity on technical considerations so the broader team could make informed decisions.
Evaluating and advising on the role of AI tools in the rendering process.
Action
Fast Ramp-Up: Re-engaged with advanced Cinema 4D workflows and CAD import processes, developing a repeatable pipeline for importing, cleaning, and rendering complex models.
Creative Problem-Solving: Developed a Photoshop-based solution for a device provided as a layered PSD, ensuring visual consistency with the 3D renders while meeting launch deadlines.
Cross-Team Guidance: Partnered with the Alexa+ Creative Director and client team to explain technical trade-offs, align on deliverable standards, and provide a framework for requesting future assets in the most efficient formats.
AI Integration: Tested an AI rendering assistant, assessed its strengths and limitations, and communicated its potential applications as a complement to Cinema 4D and Redshift workflows.
Future-Proofing: Documented render settings, camera specifications, lighting rigs, and export protocols, creating a scalable system for consistent outputs in future campaigns.
