I lead the Design and Art Direction with the fine folks at Oddfellows alongside AD Jay Quercia, in collaboration with the Google Brand Studio - to create the Google Playgound - an immersive and playful search-and-find experience that celebrates 25 years of Google and highlights the pivotal searches, trends, and cultural moments that have defined the past quarter-century. Over 24.3 million users worldwide spent more than 1 million hours exploring 85 million trends. This immersive, playable canvas stands as one of Google’s most successful brand activations to date.

I developed the visual language and style, and focused on desiging the world and it’s characters, leading a team of 30+ designers to create thousands of unique, hand-drawn characters and hidden surprises. The ultimate Easter egg was a Taylor Swift treasure hunt, where clues from her 10 musical eras led fans to an exclusive website. 


I drew over 1,800 unique characters that filled the world with playful moments - telling stories throughout and bringing the playground to life.
