Life update: I left my fulltime job and am now independent! It was a scary decision but I felt compelled to chase my dream of being a freelance creative. So if you’re looking for a badass director/creative technologist/XR artist/VJ hmu!
Thread of projects I’m proud of below 👇
Super excited to share that for the past few months the team @Nike and I have been working on a game with @FortniteGame and it launches today!
Lots of love and dedication went into this project and I couldn’t be more proud to be part of this amazing team. Pls go check it out! 🩵

Ever wonder how virtual concerts are made? Meet Brenda Chen (@elevatedtrash), an XR artist who uses C++ to build concerts in the metaverse for artists like John Legend.
Here’s a look at her day-to-day and the Codecademy courses she took to get started. bit.ly/3QohHXh

My @TEDTalks went live today! Check it out here: go.ted.com/sutu ! It's all about building the AR Metaverse together! I tried to crack a few jokes, lmk if they landed?! Shoutout to #Neonz + @eyejackapp
This is truly a full circle moment for me. I first learned to code w/ @Codecademy in high school to edit my tumblr site and now years later I’m using those skills to build virtual concerts!
Codecademy made coding less daunting and I'm so grateful🙏
