If you're looking for Jonathan Fildes: the stunt driver, the yarn exporter or the [now seemingly defunct] taxi service, you're in the wrong place.
I'm the other one.
I run the incredible creative team at Google DeepMind. They're a small - but amazing - group of designers and creators who build brands, create websites, make films, record podcasts and look after pretty much all of the visual work for the company.
It's a lot. But they're super talented.

Here's some of the things we've done together:
- Launched all of the Gemini models with amazing teams from across Google and more.
- Plus all of Google's GenAI models (Veo for video, Imagen for images & Lyria for music).
- Produced a full length documentary about AI (and supported another one).
- Created three series of an award winning podcast about AI, with a fourth rolling out now.
- Worked with artists around the globe to rethink the representation of AI (see examples above).
- And told the incredible story of AlphaFold from idea to Nobel-prize winning breakthrough.
Basically, lots of projects at the cutting edge of AI. And - in most cases - long before AI was "a thing".
Even longer before that I was at the BBC, where I ran the technology pages of the news site, created BBC Future and launched an award-winning app for David Attenborough, amongst lots of other stuff.
I've always worked at the intersection of science, technology and creative. My first job was running a webcast for a World Service radio programme called Go Digital. A pioneering idea, but a decade too early for the technology.
I love to set up and run creative projects... and lead the teams who deliver them.
Maybe you - or someone you know - could use some help from someone like me? Or maybe I can connect you with some of the wonderful people I know?

Or, if you're just curious about AI and don't know where to start, here's a silly project I put together which might offer some inspiration.
