Google
As the embedded Design Lead at Google, I directed creative strategy across a wide range of brand initiatives—from UX-driven product storytelling to large-scale experiential marketing activations. I led a multidisciplinary team of graphic designers, motion artists, and editors to craft interactive, branded experiences that engaged audiences across digital and physical touchpoints.

My role blended art direction, stakeholder collaboration, and hands-on design leadership to solve business challenges with clarity and creativity. Whether shaping executive keynotes, prototyping interactive installations, or aligning visual systems across teams, I helped bring Google’s brand to life in ways that were immersive, strategic, and distinctly Google.





Google’s Pier 57
Led the design and art direction for an interactive installation at Google’s Pier 57 that transformed the space into a living canvas of motion and illustration. A responsive visual system was developed in collaboration with illustrators, motion designers, and engineers that reacted to visitor movement in real time. Custom artwork, animation, and sensor-based interactivity were seamlessly integrated to create an immersive brand experience. The installation helped increase foot traffic in the space by over 40%, turning a transitional zone into a destination.

Google Merch Shop
A playful ad series to introduce the Google Merch Shop to a broader audience, using the beloved Chrome Dino as the star of the campaign. With bold typography, dynamic motion, and Google’s signature sense of whimsy, each ad followed the Dino as it explored new product drops and hidden gems from the shop. The visuals balanced clean, brand-forward design with moments of surprise and personality to spark curiosity and delight. The campaign drove a 35% increase in click-through performance and helped raise awareness of the shop as a fun, design-savvy destination for Google fans.
