About me

I was born in 1997 in Riga, Latvia. In 2022, I received my MFA in Creative Technologies at Virginia Tech. In 2020, I received my BA in Digital Arts at Stetson University.

 

I am a 3D Technical Artist at Virginia Tech University Libraries’ Digital Preservation Department, where I manage the 3D Imaging Lab. My work focuses on photogrammetry, laser scanning, Gaussian splat modeling, and other techniques to preserve cultural heritage objects and sites in highly accurate, interactive formats.

​

As lab manager, my goal is to maximize the quality of our 3D models while optimizing workflows and accessibility. Recent initiatives include implementing a cross-polarized photography setup, developing a streamlined .GLB pipeline for web-friendly models, refining lab workflows, and exploring Gaussian splat models for more immersive, lifelike experiences.
