WOVEN CITY
Is a fully operational, living laboratory designed to explore the future of mobility, AI, autonomy, robotics, energy, and human centered technology … at city scale. Designed from first principles woven together through software, systems thinking, and mobility innovation.
SHANES work focused on imagining vehicles as intelligent agents within a programmable urban environment.
The exploration pushed beyond transportation toward a world where mobility becomes adaptive, personal, and experiential.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Toyota Woven City is a living laboratory for the future of mobility, artificial intelligence, autonomy, robotics and human-centered technology. Shane contributed executive creative direction and future-focused concept development, exploring how intelligent vehicles could become adaptive agents within a programmable urban environment, transforming mobility from transportation into a personal, responsive experience.
ROLE & CONTRIBUTION
Executive Creative Director and futurist responsible for creative vision, concept development, mobility and AI experience strategy, vehicle-as-agent interaction models, storyboards, illustration and AI-assisted visualization. Selected details remain confidential under NDA.
STRATEGIC VALUE
The work reframed the vehicle as a responsive participant in the city rather than a standalone product. By connecting mobility, AI, experience design and narrative, the exploration created a human-centered framework for imagining how people might understand, trust and engage with intelligent transportation.
