I am Todd Daniele (pronounced Dan-Yell-Ee) . At a young age I developed an affinity for drawing, that doesn’t mean I was a prodigy, it just means I liked to play with crayons. I never imagined when I picked up my first crayon that I would be creating Photo-Real 3D models with a machine called a computer, yet here I am. It was a long path with lots of distractions, the tools I used changed dramatically, but the one thing that was constant was my love of visual expression.

What people are saying about me
"“having Todd on a project is like having 6 modelers” "
"I’ve known Todd for several years now and I had the opportunity to work with him on a project a few years back. He’s an ultra-efficient modeler/texturing machine! He goes that extra distance to ensure projects are completed on time (most of the time before deadlines) and with the highest level of quality possible. I highly recommend him for any endeavor."
"Of all the freelance 3d modelers/graphics artists I managed/hired Todd was by far the embodiment of talent, professionalism and personality: in effect, the whole package. He was always willing to go above and beyond to make sure the product/projects he worked on were second to none and never left a client disappointed, only wowed. His enthusiasm, creativity, design and ideas, capability to deal with clients directly when needed and in turn produce what they hoped for and always so much more than their expectations as well as his ability to work under pressure with extremely tight deadlines, proved him to be invaluable to the team. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a brilliant team player that brings nothing but the absolute best to the table. "
