Google

I built Google’s global placemaking and art-curation programs from the ground up — defining how Google shows up in physical space. Over six years I managed 1.5 million square feet of public real estate serving five million people across six countries, built a 40-vendor creative ecosystem, and commissioned more than 200 art projects and installations.

The work spanned two threads: shaping the public realm of Google’s campuses into places that serve their surrounding communities, and scaling AI-artist collaborations from lab experiments into public exhibitions — a lineage rooted in the first neural-network × artist exhibition we produced years earlier.

Placemaking

• Google Visitor Experience

  Google’s first year-round public destination — a Google Store, its first brick-and-mortar cafe, community space, and public plazas — led end-to-end within a $1B+, 16-acre development and reaching 2,000 daily visitors.

• Pier 57

  Experiential public programs at Google’s Hudson River waterfront landmark, home to a rooftop park and public market hall.

  New York
• King's Cross · Platform 37

  Google’s London campus and first ground-up development in Europe, with Heatherwick Studio and BIG. Its landmark building, Platform 37 (Bjarke Ingels and Heatherwick Studio), opens a public ground-floor AI Exchange — free educational programming, interactive exhibitions, and cultural events.

  London
• Boland's Mill

  Experiential public programs at Google’s Dublin campus in the historic Boland’s Mill, on the quays at Grand Canal Dock.

  Dublin
• Arnulfpost

  A 1920s modernist postal building reimagined as a workplace with public areas, landscaped courtyards, and events open to the city.

Art & machine intelligence

• Artists + Machine Intelligence

  The world’s first neural-network × artist exhibition — DeepDream, which we produced at Gray Area in 2016 — established ethical frameworks for AI-creative collaboration that influenced Google’s Artists and Machine Intelligence program.

  2016
• Gradient Canvas

  An AI-art collection we curated for Google’s AI headquarters — featuring Refik Anadol, Trevor Paglen, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, and Rashaad Newsome — scaling AI-artist collaborations from lab experiments to public exhibition with Google Research and DeepMind.

  Google AI HQ
• PromptDJ-MIDI

  An AI music prototype we supported — featured on the main stage at Google I/O — that steers a real-time generative model with weighted prompts and a MIDI controller, blending styles live, like a DJ.
