Brian Faggin BatistaGraduate Studenthe/him/his

My name is Brian Faggin Batista. I was born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, but raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I have a Master of Arts in visual communications from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

I have worked in freelance photography and videography for over 10 years, working for collegiate athletic departments and doing freelance work for governmental departments. I also have produced and taught workshops on Unity 3D and Unreal Engine and taught 3D printing, modeling, and animation at multiple colleges.

I’m focused on producing high-level multimedia content, with a focus on XR storytelling, to create learning experiences in all fields.

My dream is to make XR an accessible medium for everyone and be able to use it to teach, tell stories, and experience slices of life that you would otherwise not be able to.
