Andrea Wong Email and Phone Number

I currently lead user experience research (UXR) for Google’s Suggest on Searchbox. You know when you tap/click on the Google search box and the autocomplete suggestions pop up before and as you type? Yup, that’s my area. Previously I was the Lead UXR and first-ever hire for the roles at Google News Product Inclusion; Geo (Maps) Product Inclusion; ChromeOS/Chromebooks international markets & expansion; Central Disability & Inclusion team; GSuite/Classroom Accessibility; and Localization. I’ve built end-to-end accessibility research infrastructure and practices at Google used globally by thousands of researchers, designers, program managers, legal/privacy, and recruiters. I’ve trained hundreds of Googlers around the world on how to build inclusive products, and led multiple first-ever foundational studies and sprints for less understood populations.I'm a UX mentor at IndieBio, the world's largest seed biotech accelerator, a Learning Fellow at learning lab The Masie Center, and do pro-bono advising for non-profits. I’ve given talks on UXR practices to thousands at conferences and companies around the world, and have been lucky to keynote with incredible speakers including Michelle Obama and gender equity and women’s rights activist Metra Mehran.——Prior work in China and US: - Crafted content for a social gaming startup twice featured in the Apple App Store- Designed an e-learning foundation's China strategy from the ground up to reach 7,000 kids in 1 year with $0- Chief editor of Shanghai’s leading English-language lifestyle media print & web platform- Helped define stakeholder communications for a $13 billion APAC merger ——Languages: English (native), Cantonese and Mandarin (working proficiency)Global Background: Hong Kong, NYC, Singapore, Toronto, Shanghai, San FranciscoInterests: Making the world more equitable through scalable work, more efficient and inclusive healthcare and educational systems, particularly in aging populations and other underserved & underrepresented communities, cross-cultural communications, equitable access to tech careers.Open to speaking engagements and nonprofit board positions.
