Kat Yu - 3D Artist

Info:
​I was the lead artist on Venues 2.0, and was responsible for building the app from the ground-up, iterating on environments for initial launch, as well as providing work towards Facebook Connect and other themed events.  
In addition to creating art, I prioritized art deliverables in parallel with design and eng, delegated work to the art team, organized art brainstorms, gave critiques and feedback to the art team, created work-back plans/sprint planned, and made sure art was harmonious with the rest of the Venues team.

Facebook Connect 2020 - Networking T-shirt Design

As an icebreaker, we wanted to utilize event-only t-shirts for Facebook Connect 2020 in VR.  I worked with a product designer to create industry-related shirts that conference-goers could wear and talk about.  I created all of the t-shirt textures, and worked with an engineer to get it integrated in the app
