“Leah Wise Mockup”

I developed a professional digital environmental mock-up for artist Uriel 'Conquista' Landeros to showcase his portrait of Leah Wise, a fierce personal injury attorney. This project required a high level of production to visualize the artwork within a professional setting, mirroring the significance of the subject—the founder of the first 100% woman-owned and operated law firm in the Rio Grande Valley. My role was to bridge the gap between fine art and provide a polished visual asset for client review and portfolio documentation.
