My role
Lead Designer · Real-Time Design · AR · LED · Live Broadcast
Served as the primary designer and on-site creative lead for Karate Combat 37, managing client communication, coordinating the design team, and continuing hands-on design work throughout production. Developed a hybrid environment combining AR elements with an LED backdrop, ensuring the virtual environment integrated seamlessly with the physical set while also reading effectively for the live audience. Responded to last-minute executive feedback during production, making live creative adjustments directly in Unreal under the constraints of a live broadcast.
