San Antonio

Content strategy, editorial development, stakeholder management

 

Overview
Led content development for San Antonio’s official presence on the Google Arts & Culture platform, managing editorial strategy, cross-organizational coordination, and asset sourcing across multiple cultural collections.

San Antonio became the seventh U.S. city featured on the platform and the first in Texas, joining a global network of museums, cultural institutions, and UNESCO sites.

The Project
 

Over a six-month collaboration with Google Arts & Culture, I led the development and coordination of a multi-exhibit digital collection highlighting key aspects of San Antonio’s cultural identity, including:

  • Military City USA

  • the River Walk

  • UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy

  • Historic Market Square

  • public art and World Heritage sites

  • arts and culture initiatives
     

Each collection required coordination across multiple stakeholders, contributors, and content sources to ensure consistency, accuracy, and brand alignment.

What I Led
 

  • Wrote and structured exhibit content across multiple cultural themes

  • Sourced photography and managed rights and permissions with photographers and partners

  • Coordinated content collection across institutional stakeholders and contributors

  • Maintained editorial consistency and brand alignment across the full experience

  • Partnered with Google’s team throughout development and launch execution
