“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”

― Friedrich Nietzsche

Hi, I’m Airi

A technical artist at Respawn working on Apex Legends and Star Wars with Computer Science background from University of Southern California.

At the intersection of art & tech, I’ve done visual effects, physics simulation, shaders, tools scripting, and performance optimization for personal and team projects. Open to any challenges in the graphics space to enable story-telling:)

My biggest hobby is learning, and my second one is solving puzzle games - whether it’s boardgame or video game. Outside of work, I’m a plant mom who enjoys reading philosophy/classical novels and drawing things/people/memories I love.

Feel free to reach out to discuss whatever swe, games, or graphics stuff via LinkedIn, Insta or email
