Marathon art direction preview

Bungie · Current role

Marathon

Commerce & Events Art Lead — owning the visual strategy for how a live game earns: cosmetics, earnables, events, and the storefront players see every day.

  • Sets direction for seasonal cosmetics, Battle Pass earnables, and store presentation across launch seasons
  • Directs live-event and commerce art on a seasonal cadence — fluent in monetization and the business of a live game, not just its visuals
  • Back at Bungie, applying franchise fluency built on Destiny and Halo to a new universe
