Art Direction Outsourcing UI/UX & Tech Art as a part of Google

I was a lead on Playground, an AR creativity app shipped for the launch of the Google Pixel 3.

App Development & Direction

I led a cross-disciplinary team of artists, designers & engineers prototyping AR + ML apps. The success of our work in pre-production led to Playground’s creation. We collaborated with teams all across Google Hardware to ship.

Along with leading our prototyping efforts, I curated 2D content and art directed 3D cat characters developed with one of our outsourcing studios.

Scene Suggestions

We also received a patent for using computer vision and AR to create a semantic understanding of the user’s world around them. This feature started as a prototype that my team developed, then productionized into the shipping version of Playground.
