I think you'll like this version much better; let me know if it still needs any work.

Adam Kruvand

Adam Kruvand isn't the sort to fall head over heels, but when he was first introduced to the then-newish discipline of 3d modeling while pursuing a B.A. in architecture from the University of Kansas, he knew he had found the love of his life. And thus it was that upon graduation, Kruvand didn't think twice about taking a gig doing 3d for the international athletic architecture firm HOK Sport. But even this couldn't quite scratch his itch. "Working in an architecture firm just solidified my desire to work with 3d technology. Since the industry was very limited in 2000, I started my own studio."

Kruvand's goal has always been to bridge the gap between 3d's typical applications and 3d's fantastic possibilities. Whether he's at work on industrial product renderings, editorial illustrations, or virtual building tours of the sort that take every imaginable visual element into account, he makes a point of applying new techniques to any given problem in order that the might find the most optimal solution.

Four years after founding Studio2a, Kruvand moved the firm from Kansas City to Chicago. Having since expanded Studio2a's client list into something a bit more international than he had originally expected, Kruvand remains pleased with his career move. And, of course, he's still in love with 3d. "I like the idea of architecture, and want to apply this beyond the current scope building technology," he says. "I still like buildings, but I like creating light, space, and form without worrying about the cost of materials or gravity. In the 3d world, the possibilities are unlimited."
