🤖 Google Experience Studio

Google Experience Studio tells the story of Google’s ✂️ cutting-edge technologies in the physical world through interactive installations, architecture, and user-focused interior design to immerse guests during their visit to Google Experience Centers ✨.

During my time as Experience Design Producer / Project Manager in the team👷🏻‍♂️, I helped to drive multiple international 🌏 design-build projects from early concept phase to finish in a highly-creative & cross-functional team consisting of space designers, UI/UX designers, brand strategists, engineers, creative technologist, business stakeholders, architects, contractors, and various external vendors.

I nurtured professional relationships with international business stakeholders across Asia 🇯🇵🇸🇬, Latin America 🇧🇷, and Europe 🇮🇪🇫🇷 to execute existing facility upkeep, new interior enhancement projects, and interactive experiences refreshes in a timely ⏳ manner within the allocated budget 💶, while streamlining workflows, communication, and escalation paths along the way.

🇺🇸🌲 The Grove — Redwood City, California, USA

From small seeds 🌱 grow a mighty forest 🌳

The Grove is a fully-immersive, innovative space focused on creating awe-inspiring experiences to nurture and strengthen 💪 our customer’s business.

The Grove is Google Experience Centers located in Redwood City, California 🏞.  The concept and design of the space was inspired by California’s redwood forests 🌲🏕, and the thematic story of the redwoods is expressed in the architecture, technology, and hospitality touch points throughout this immersive space.

“From the Digital Campfire 🔥, a Google Assistant-powered gathering place created with the latest Google Pixel devices, to the Redwood Trail, an interactive tunnel that uses machine learning algorithms to improvise and play music live 🎶, there are countless moments of magic 🪄 throughout The Grove where Google technology seamlessly enhances the guest experience.  Storytelling and guest-centric designs throughout the center provide interactive and playful moments for customers, partners, and Google employees alike.”

As part of the design team 🧑🏻‍🎨, I did some UI/UX testings for Digital Campfire 🔥, Redwood Trail 🌲, and other interactive installations 💫. I supported cross-functional collaboration & communication toward opening day 🚀.
