As the physical event landscape shifted, I explored innovative ways to engage customers through virtual spaces and events. This led to the creation of Bzar in collaboration with INVNT’s CEO—an avatar-based, gamified online shopping metaverse built in Unreal Engine.

This project marked a pivotal moment in my career, combining creativity, technology, and forward-thinking strategy.► Created and directed the artistic vision for Bzar, overseeing both the high-resolution, pixel-streamed version and the WebGL version.
