Google x Smithsonian

Design Director

Working with R/GA and Google Arts & Culture, we were set the challenge of commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission – and humankind’s first steps on the moon – on behalf of the Smithsonian Institute’s National Air & Space Museum. Utilising the extensive Apollo and Smithsonian archives we created 20 immersive and carefully crafted stories covering this remarkable feat, while experimenting with a dynamic new way of searching with Google on mobile – Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). This vertical, mobile-first storytelling platform creates an interactive Visual Story directly from your Google search results.
