Kat Briggs
Daz Content Production Manager
Kat began her career with Daz 3D back when the dinosaurs roamed. (Seriously. They were very popular on the site at the time.) Starting out as a customer, she was impressed with the quality of products the company produced, and applied for an open QA contractor position. Six years later, Kat became a full time employee. Since then, she has moved about inside the company and helped in several areas to include Customer Service, documentation, project management, leading intern teams and working with the Production team. Watching the company grow and seeing the community and PA support has been a rewarding experiance she plans to be a part of for many more years.

She has a passion for storytelling, whether it be visual or audio. Her range of experience outside of Art includes Radio talk show host, marketing specialist to Youtube show host. When we aren’t in the middle of a global pandemic, Kirsten loves to sweat it out on the court playing on the International Wheelchair Tennis Circuit. She loves that Daz brings a strong sense of Community to Art and is passionate about supporting the team and artist community.
