School of Art graduate (2012), Simon Sok, was hired on with the Google Creative Lab Five. It is a highly competitive paid internship, where a team of five people work together to create and innovate. According to Graphic Design professor, Sarah Lowe, Sok is the youngest person ever to be part of the team. He is almost done with his year at Google, and he is in a great position to handpick where he wants to work next.
