With a focus on delivering visually captivating experiences, Karta aims to leverage its expertise within ZEPETO's fashion-centric environment. Already, the studio has secured its first project with a major global brand, currently in production. Led by Dominique Sosseh, a seasoned Lead 3D artist at Karta, the new studio promises to bring fresh perspectives to ZEPETO's dynamic community.

Dominique Sosseh, Lead 3D artist of new ZEPETO studio, said: “I am so excited to be part of the team working on ZEPETO. ZEPETO is different to other metaverse platforms, allowing us to work with a different range of clients and focus on a different audience than that of Fortnite or Roblox. I love its visual style, and its focus on self-expression.
"As the biggest virtual fashion marketplace in the world, I think it is a platform every brand, especially those with a strong focus on a female audience, should be aware of.”
