About
At Meta, I lead art direction for the stylized avatar system: turning real users into characters with stylized likeness through parametric face and body frameworks, expression systems, and the visual rules that keep millions of avatars consistent with the style.
Art Direction
Setting the visual direction when none exists, and building the rules that keep it consistent across teams and scale.
Creative Technology
The systems underneath: procedural pipelines, parametric tools, and production workflows that let artists focus on the work, not the plumbing.
Technical Direction
The bridge between art and engineering: reducing iteration cycles, solving for constraints, and making sure characters actually ship.
CASE STUDIES
The work.
Visual development and character systems for Disney Animation features. Art direction for Meta's avatar platform. Production tools built as artist to artist.
Credits
From character modeling on Disney Animation features to art directing Meta's avatar platform. Nearly two decades of production work across studios, scales, and disciplines. Every role built the next one.

Let's talk.
I work across art direction, character systems, and production infrastructure. Whether you're building an avatar platform, staffing a character team, planning a talk or panel, or looking for someone who's done both the creative and the technical side, I'd like to hear about it.
