Since founding Parietal Lab, he’s worked across mediums. He launched CONNECTOME on Meta Quest in May 2025 and on Apple Vision Pro in June 2026, and a second VR experience, CONSTELLATIONS, in early 2026. He composes and releases original music — the CONNECTOME score, plus solo piano under his own name. He exhibits interactive, physical art around Seattle, including “The Door,” a real-world reimagining of a key moment from CONNECTOME, and “Night Sky,” a projection-based installation. His Project Hydra: Iterations installation is currently at the Coliseum of Art in downtown Seattle through September 2026.

Grant stays active in the XR and design community as a speaker, teacher, and mentor — recent events include co-leading a Location-Based Entertainment roundtable at AWE 2026, presenting Wearing all the Hats at Seattle XR Conference, The Prototyper’s Mindset at XRCC Online and a session at the PNW Art & Tech Symposium, and at Electric SEA he led a hands-on workshop where participants built custom MIDI controllers to drive real-time generative visuals.

Before Parietal Lab, Grant spent his career at the intersection of design and technology — most recently as Head of Design Engineering in Amazon’s Devices and Services Design Group, where he led a team prototyping next-generation experiences across the Echo, Fire TV, and Fire Tablet families. Earlier, he worked on a range of Xbox programs at Microsoft, including Xbox Music and Video and the Xbox 360 ADK that brought streaming apps like Netflix and Hulu to the console.

Grant shares his art at granthinkson.com/art (aka fr0gg3r.com), on Instagram at instagram.com/the.fr0gg3r, and writes about creating at his Substack, Grant Hinkson: On Creating.

He’s also active on LinkedIn.
