Dakota von Bergen

I am a Berlin-based multidisciplinary visual artist with a strong focus on 3D art, digital environments, and visual brand identity. My creative process works much like composing music, it is all about rhythm, atmosphere, and blending contrasting worlds, from dark surrealism to contemporary street culture.

My core expertise lies in 3D creation: covering everything from raw sculpting and game-ready optimization (decimation & texture baking) in Blender, to photorealistic lighting and material studies (glass, chrome, textiles) in KeyShot, as well as building interactive real-time spaces in Unity.

Beyond 3D, I approach projects holistically across multiple mediums:
• 3D & CGI: Character design, digital fashion / custom sneaker visuals, and virtual environments.
• Graphic Art & Photo Manipulation: Surreal collages, artwork composition, and high-end image editing.
• Branding & Merch: Logo creation and custom merchandise design (backed by hands-on experience in the live music and touring industry).
• Audio & Visuals: Music production paired with bespoke audio-visual concepts and stage visuals.

I am fully proficient across both Windows and macOS environments, allowing for seamless integration into any studio pipeline. Always pushing my technical boundaries, my upcoming pipeline expansions include diving into Unreal Engine 5 and the Adobe Substance 3D suite.

I thrive on translating abstract visions into bold, memorable visual experiences. Available for international freelance projects, creative collaborations, and Junior/Entry-level 3D roles (Berlin or Remote).
