Google: Project Skate
After the success of skateboarding at the Tokyo Olympics, Google partnered with Nakatomi and 14-year-old skateboarder Sky Brown to introduce a revolutionary AI technology to the half pipe. My role in this project involved collaborating with Google and Nakatomi to design a unique and playful user interface that showcased this innovative technology. The product demo was sucessfully unveiled at Google’s Developers Conference.
