Indie game designer and creative technologist for the second, er, third, um, smallest screen; Webby Awards for the Morse Code experience she built at Google Creative Lab. Jane Friedhoff (CC 2010) works in the smallest of the screens that have absorbed the Society's playwrights and screenwriters: the phone. An indie game designer and creative technologist, she spent 2013–2016 at The New York Times R&D Lab, then joined The Office for Creative Research, then Google's Creative Lab through 2019. Her 2019 Morse Code project for Google won two Webbys — Best User Experience, and Apps, Mobile & Voice: Technical Achievement (with the People's Voice Award) — the first Philolexian Webbys on record.
