Dahkota VarelaAbout2025
Born in Whittier, CA in 1997

My passion is within visual language and culture.

I started out by torrenting every software I could think of and teaching myself them.

My strengths are in 3D modeling and visualization.

My current focus is on designing intimate, functional objects—including home goods, boutique audio/video hardware, installations, small-scale sculptures, wall art, and clothing accessories.

My aim is to materialize some ambiguous internal conflict I cant quite articulate. I think discomfort is always somewhere within the beautiful, and maybe even necessarily.
