About :Meta Connect 2022 was a one-day virtual event that explored the building of the metaverse and the future of augmented and virtual reality. Industry leaders shared the latest technologies and developers’ sessions to cover how to use them.
Roles & Responsibilities: In my role as a member of the Meta Connect 2022 team, I was responsible for conceptualizing & imagining what our connected environments might look like. In doing so, I took into account color palettes, architectural elements, shape language, and other elements. Furthermore, I served as the Art Lead, world owner, and primary point of contact for our HUB world, Meta Square. The Horizon Worlds social space provided attendees with an opportunity to interact, play icebreaker games, socialize, and travel to popular user-generated worlds.
In addition, the public and press were able to watch John Carmack's unscripted speech and the developers' state of the union on a rectangular screen within the environment. In conjunction with Meta Square, I designed five theater spaces for the Developer Sessions, which featured prerecorded avatar performances as well as rectilinear screens.
Among my many responsibilities for Meta Square and the Developer Sessions, I refined lighting, layouts, architectures, cube maps, social interactions, and UX/UI flows. I also shot/edited BTS footage for our marketing team to be featured on several Meta social media surfaces. Furthermore, I coordinated and implemented numerous functional elements with engineering, content design, product design, marketing, and various other parts of the organization and Connect team. This was to bring the environment to the required quality level for public consumption.

The successor to the original Oculus Venues app, it served as the home for major live events on the Oculus ecosystem and hosted some of the platform's highest-concurrency moments — including activations around Super Bowl LVI and live music events with artists like the Foo Fighters — before its eventual migration into Horizon Worlds as Horizon Venues.
Roles & Responsibilities: In my role as Lead Artist and World Owner for Venues, I was responsible for updating Art Direction, Look Development, Lighting, Set Dressing, modeling, texturing, optimization, and the visual execution of the main lobby and event space — including seasonal reskins and one-off activations such as the 2022 Super Bowl LVI hub.

About: "Horizon Venues" is the Horizon Worlds reincarnation of the standalone Venues app — a live-events hub on Meta Quest where users gather to attend concerts, sports broadcasts, comedy, and other live entertainment together in shared virtual environments. Horizon Venues continued the live-events lineage of Oculus Venues and Venues, now native to the Horizon Worlds platform.
Roles & Responsibilities: As Art Lead and World Owner for Horizon Venues, I owned visual direction and end-to-end environment build for the migration of the platform's flagship live entertainment hub from a standalone app into Horizon Worlds. I delivered Art Direction, Look Development, Lighting, Atmosphere, modeling and asset texturing, Set Dressing, and the visual execution of the main lobby and event spaces.
Furthermore, along with my individual contributions I coordinated, tested, evaluated and implemented numerous functional elements with engineering, content design, product management, marketing, the live-entertainment team, external creator partners, and various other parts of the organization. Following launch, I remained the ongoing art owner for both Horizon Venues — the team's go-to for bug fixes, ad-hoc art updates, and seasonal/holiday world reskins (Halloween, Winter Holidays, Summer) whenever the spaces needed iteration.

About: "Super Strike" is a competitive multiplayer shooter on Meta Horizon Worlds, available across both VR and Mobile. The title features tight, arcade-paced gameplay across competitive map layouts designed to support player progression, retention, and live multiplayer competition — and shipped as the platform's #1-ranked title on both VR and Mobile.
Roles & Responsibilities:As Lead Artist for Super Strike, I owned end-to-end environment art for the Broadside and Stadium maps, including locker rooms and new-user experience (NUX) art. I delivered Art Direction, Look Development, Lighting, Atmosphere, modeling, asset texturing, optimization, Set Dressing, level layout, and VFX placement. Every visual decision was anchored to the title's core audience — T.A.Y.A. (Teens and Young Adults) — which shaped color palette, silhouette readability, visual energy, and overall tone to keep the world aspirational, fast-paced, and accessible to new players. I also independently developed the new cross-platform (VR + Mobile) art pipeline used by the team and authored the Ouro Environment Art Handbook used to onboard incoming artists.
Furthermore, along with my individual contributions I served as DRI for the environment pod and coordinated, tested, evaluated and implemented numerous functional elements with engineering (level streaming, UI platforms, bot models), level design, UX/UI, product, marketing, the Metaverse Central design team, and various other parts of the organization — including packaging trailer and promotional assets for external vendors.
