Electives instructor Tony Lee played a pivotal role in crafting emotionally resonant ads for the Oscars broadcast, as featured in Adweek's article "Google Created Two Powerful Ads That'll Make You Emotional During the Oscars Broadcast." Click here to read the article.

Tony Lee is a designer, dad and unintentional advocate for accessibility in creative work. He is also a senior designer at Google, where he decided (on a whim) to share a humble deck about his life as a CODA (“child of deaf adults”) in the hopes of sharing a perspective his team didn’t have.
