This week’s guest is Robert Wong. Wong was born Chinese, grew up Dutch, was Canadian, and is now American. While studying to become an accountant in Toronto, Wong woke up one day, flew to New York, and became a graphic designer instead. Wong is best known for his time leading design at Starbucks and as one of the co-founders of Google Creative Lab, where he still works. In this episode, Host Nicola Hamilton and Wong retrace his steps to becoming a designer, discuss how the Google Creative Lab operates, and dive into how he’s thinking about AI.
