The challenge

KPMG was building a $450M, 780,000-square-foot learning campus meant to make every one of its professionals feel they belong to something extraordinary. The spaces needed experiences to match the ambition.

My role

Software designer and lead for the interactive installations — from concept through hardware validation to launch.

The work

I led software design and prototyping for the Community Table (a multi-touch interactive surface) and Halo Effect (circular LED elevator-bay displays), and invented a Figma-to-Unity pipeline that let live 2D design animations render in 3D environments — a toolchain built from scratch. I sourced and validated circular LED hardware from component markets to prove the concept before fabrication.

The impact

All nine installations opened with the campus in January 2020. Interns exposed to Lakehouse are 40% more likely to accept KPMG offers. The project won an ENR Award of Merit and an Orlando Business Journal Innovation Award, was featured in Fortune, Quartz, and Business Insider — and within three years Lakehouse became KPMG’s primary AI-skills training hub.
