Delivering show-stopping 3D designs nationwide

Twisted Gerbil Studio is a 3D art studio located in the frozen tundra of Michigan. 

Wait, you’re not in Michigan? Not a problem! We spread our love of 3D all over the country. 

We’ve got over a decade of experience working with 3D software and helping companies get what they need to deliver successful projects.

Dave is the founder and creative director of Twisted Gerbil Studio. He’s been in the 3D industry for over a decade, and during that time he’s been involved in everything from data prep to product rendering.

Growing up, he spent his time drawing stick figure battles in textbooks instead of reading them. Evolving from doodles to 3D, Dave earned a Bachelors of Arts & Sciences, an Associates in Computer Animation.

Pre-Gerbil days, David took part in numerous specialty training workshops and an extensive nine-month online course run by Escape Studios that covered advanced modeling, texturing, lighting, and rendering modules.

Along with extensive training, Dave’s also worked as a CGI artist and script developer for Burrows and a CGI Artist and technical director for LaDriere Studio. He conducted in-depth research and development for Mackevision and was a professor at Baker College for a couple of years. 

Over the years he’s designed and programmed tools to automate the designers’ workflow. There’s something about a smooth, visually appealing pipeline that is just so beautiful!

Launching Twisted Gerbil Studio, David has worked as our lead 3D and technical artist, excelling at modeling products for rendering, forensic animation, and asset creation for 3D printing.
