Experience

1. Cg Lead - Visual Innovation Team

   Amazon

   Sep 2024 — Present · New York, NY, US

   I lead creative teams in developing unique shopping experiences, from designing virtual showrooms to building advanced tools that empower artists and stylists through AI. As a multidisciplinary artist and problem solver, I focus on innovating workflows and elevating visual experiences.At Amazon, I have created 3D virtual showrooms for major brands including North Face, Dyson, Logitech, Star Wars, Wicked, and American Girl Dolls. We also create virtual production sets for high end studio photo shoots. Additionally I give direction to the (IN) global team to optimize assets for real-time rendering. I work with GenAI daily and in the past few months I\'ve created hundreds of AI generated images for Luxury brands for the Amazon Luxury Store. I\'ve been on multiple projects involved in testing AI for production. In addition, I conceived and developed an AI automation tool that dramatically improved workflow efficiency and productivity on a high-profile project with tight deadlines. By identifying bottlenecks and creating a solution that accelerated image creation while raising quality standards, I helped the team deliver at scale.I collaborated with the design technology team and a coder to bring the tool to life, and I led training sessions to ensure widespread adoption by stylists and artists. The tool was fully integrated into Amazon’s production pipeline, underwent a UX design review, and I contributed to both ideation and critique of the interface. I continue to play an active role in refining and enhancing the tool to maximize its impact.
