Top SchoolKat Yu is an Art Director with nine years of experience crafting fashion-forward 2D and 3D avatar clothing and immersive experiences at Meta, where she leads the Avatar Clothing team and helped ship Avatars 2.0 and Oculus Venues updates. She bridges fashion design and real-time graphics, combining a Parsons fashion background and MFA in Game Development to create scalable art pipelines, tooling, and brand partnerships for VR and AR platforms. Kat is fluent in production-side optimization for standalone and desktop VR—drawing on deep familiarity with draw calls, LODs, materials, and cross-platform performance constraints. Her work uniquely blends couture sensibility with technical rigor, informed by independent interests in machine learning, random matrix theory, and virtual reality that shape experimental fashion-commerce initiatives.
