Role: Series Creative Lead / Director

This series that we developed for Google Research’s YouTube page chronicles the many ways the team is taking on the toughest challenges of our times, from genomic bias to the biodiversity crisis, to climate inequity, to the unsolved mysteries of the human brain.

I was the Creative Lead across the series and directed the first two episodes.
