Art Manager
At Meta, I led the creative vision for reimagining Metaverse Avatars, shaping a unified style across Hair, Clothing, and Fantastical Characters.
I collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop inclusive, stylized, and delightful digital identities that resonated globally. My work extended beyond art, incorporating strategy, animation, and innovation to deliver a cohesive experience across platforms.
Avatar Hair
I led the creative transformation of Avatar Hair, evolving it from the earlier generation to the groundbreaking 2025 Avatar experience. By reimagining hair design, I introduced diverse, lifelike, and culturally inclusive styles that set a new standard for digital identity.
Collaborating with engineers, researchers, and designers, I developed advanced textures, physics-based simulations, and modular systems, ensuring seamless integration and optimization across platforms.
From realistic styles to fantastical creations, this evolution elevated Meta’s Avatars into a vibrant, expressive, and highly personalized representation of users worldwide.
Avatar Clothing

This approach not only enhanced production efficiency but also delivered a dynamic, user-driven wardrobe system, setting a new benchmark for digital fashion and self-expression.
