EXPERIENCE

09|2023 - 10/2025

Sands Digital (Las Vegas Sands Corp.)

Senior Art Director - Broadcast

  • Senior‑level creative and technical leader spearheading the concept, design, and execution of immersive worlds that fuse physical scenic fabrication with cutting‑edge CG. Operating at the crossroads of themed entertainment, virtual production, and experiential storytelling, I translate blue‑sky vision into cohesive, buildable environments - seamlessly functional in live, broadcast, and location‑based applications. 

  • Led a cross-functional art/tech team (12 artists & TDs) end-to-end—scoping, road-mapping, and resourcing—to deliver real-time set extensions and broadcast graphics; accelerated turnaround via Unity/VMIX NDI tuning and ACES color management.

  • Designed, documented, and rolled out an Aximmetry + VMIX + Perforce workflow; cut scene-update cycles from ~2 hrs to ~25 min and instituted CI/versioning gates for same-day creative changes in live environments.

  • Directed LiDAR capture, QA, and ingestion pipelines; integrated scans (RealityCapture/Gaussian Splatting with Postshot) into 3ds Max/V-Ray for spatially accurate sets, reducing scenic fabrication change orders and rework.

  • Orchestrated look-dev, lighting, and camera-tracking alignment across creative, scenic, and broadcast stakeholders; achieved ~95%+ CG-to-practical match on-air with defined approval checkpoints.

  • Built and governed reusable PBR material and HDRI libraries; increased asset reuse and cut look-dev time ~15% while establishing taxonomy, naming standards, and SLAs.

  • Owned shop/fab drawing lifecycle for gaming devices - scope, review, release - while monitoring budgets, mitigating change orders, and keeping to schedule.
