Biography

Art Director and Senior 3D Character Artist with 15+ years of experience across games, VR and technology. Currently at Meta Reality Labs, I combine hands-on artistic expertise with creative direction, technical problem solving and the development of scalable GenAI and 3D production pipelines.

My background spans character art, digital and traditional sculpting, procedural workflows, synthetic training data and AI-assisted content creation. I’ve led major character and clothing initiatives, established production standards and developed workflows that dramatically accelerate the creation of high-quality 3D assets.

I’m particularly interested in Art Director and Creative Director opportunities at the intersection of art, technology, games and AI-driven content production.
