About Me

I'm Leon Renner, a designer and 3D artist working across concept vehicles, architectural visualization and mechanical rigging. This is the story behind the work: where I come from, what I've picked up along the way, how I think about design and where I'm headed.

03Philosophy

Engineering

I design concepts as if they had to work. Proportions, joints and mechanisms are thought through before the render, so the idea holds up when you look closer.

Art

The image still has to move people. Light, camera and motion turn a technical idea into something worth a second look.

Every curve intentional, every mechanism functional.
