We focus on projects with cultural organisations to enable artists, writers, dancers, and other cultural practitioners to digitally augment or interpret their work. I’m very lucky to be part of Google’s Creative Lab, and I have been for the last fourteen years. I’m a writer, LGBTQ activist, and a speaker on innovation, inclusion and digital futures.

Which is awesome, but it took four years to get approved. Last week, Google rolled out the new Transgender flag emoji.
