I am Robert Herold. Projects are what I do.

 I am a professional artist with a BFA degree in sculpture and 12 years of experience in creative industrial design and fabrication. My interest is in applying art and aesthetics in practical multifaceted ways while helping others fully realize their vision, without being restricted by technical limitations. My expertise covers a variety of software and fabrication methods with an emphasis on experimentation with non-traditional techniques. This focus on technical knowledge and analysis has allowed me to take concepts from digital model to fabrication to installation in an efficient and effective manner.

My goal is to exemplify that a strong foundation in art history and aesthetics coupled with careful attention to technique and detail can help achieve great things. I am confident that my acquired expertise in many facets of art and design, hard work, dedication, and passions are qualities that will allow me to contribute to the education of many who wish to make a living with their creative skills.

Lets tell a Story:

I look to tell a story no matter the project. The life of every endeavor offers lessons and experience that we should reflect on.  It is my hope that this site provides an accurate mirror to how I see my work.
