About Me

For the past 15 years I’ve worked on an array of UX efforts. While at Google, I was a lead designer for Google Search and Google Maps. On Google Cloud, I managed the team supporting BigQuery, one of the largest pieces of the Google Cloud Platform. I also organized and led a company-wide effort involving over a dozen teams to standardize internal data visualization design guidelines. For the past 15 years I’ve worked on an array of UX efforts.
