Trudy Painter is a creative technologist at Google Creative Lab in New York City and recent graduate of MIT.

She designs and builds prototypes to make AI models more approachable, for everyone.
GOOGLE CREATIVE LAB
At Google, half of my time is spent building prototypes and the other half is spent creating clear communications around AI usage. I've worked on some of the largest AI launches at Google, including Google's state of the art multimodal model, Gemini.
MIT MEDIA LAB
I graduated from MIT in 2023 with a double major in computer science and comparative media studies. I also published research on human + AI interaction with the MIT Media Lab, specifically the Viral Communications group.

misc
Prior to the preeminence of sticks, swords and the Hero's long, hard, killing tools, our ancestors' greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred.
- Ursula K. Le Guin in "The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction"
