About
I’m Yuchia Kao, a Taiwanese Art Director and 3D Designer based in the Pacific Northwest. I am currently a Principal Visualization Specialist at Meta Industrial Design, where I lead product visualization for Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. With over a decade of experience in the creative industry, I am passionate about bringing visions to life with meticulous attention to detail. Specializing in a minimalistic and clean aesthetic, I’ve collaborated with global brands such as Microsoft, Google, Meta, Intel, Disney, Nike, Gogoro, and Electronic Arts, contributing to product launches for Quest VRs, Microsoft Surface, Xbox, HoloLens, Google Maps 3D mode, Intel RealSense and Gogoro Smartscooters.
