Zach Johnson
Zach launched award-winning interactive production studio, Xandra, in 2016. At the forefront of design-led conversational interfaces, Xandra creates AI-powered experiences – bringing together a diverse team of writers, actors, visual and sound designers, and cutting-edge technologists to conceive of and produce some of the most compelling and engaging interactive experiences in the market today. For Zach, art and entertainment exist as an expression of humanity. Something reflected in Xandra’s development of some of the highest profile conversational co-productions, with partners including Amazon, Google, HBO, Nickelodeon, Sesame Street, and AMC Networks. Zach also moonlights as Queensland AI Hub’s Designer in Residence and has recently taken on a role as Head of Narrative at Josephmark, a global venture studio with offices in Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and Los Angeles.
