Role: Producer

I led the art development and asset production of a collection of 15,000 unique NFT avatars based on Aku - the Metaverse astronaut featured on TIME magazine - which auctioned for $34M.

I managed the creative aspects of partnerships with brands such as Puma, Jay-Z's Paper Planes and Pharrell Williams' Billionaire Boys Club.

Aku became the first-ever non-Disney intellectual property to be featured at a Disney Expo (in 2023).
