Contract Projects: Collaborated with diverse teams to deliver captivating game experiences, focusing on gameplay mechanics, visual aesthetics, and player engagement.

As a DPM of a cross-functional team, I successfully delivered multiple product launches and updates, including the Configurator Updates, Rivian.com, and transaction-to-day-of-delivery experiences. I developed and executed product roadmaps and strategies while collaborating closely with engineering and project management teams to ensure optimal resource allocation and alignment with company goals. I prioritized user-centric approaches by chaperoning UXR and user testing, establishing and maintaining external partnerships, and creating and maintaining product documentation. My proficiency in JIRA, ASANA, and spreadsheets allowed me to track project progress and manage agile processes effectively.

- Coordinated a team of Voice User Interface, Interaction, and visual designers to create the first version of Google Assistant - Product managed an internal tool for our Voice User Interface designers to use. - Conducted meetings with numerous internal Google products to ensure UX design cohesion

- Chaperoned three major milestones for each project; Design Check-­ins, Design Leadership Approvals, and finally cross­ team Design Approval including Product, User Research, Technical Writing,Engineering, and other impacted Design UX teams. Engineering was dependent on our deliverables and it was very important that our team hit the set milestones, which we did for all 9 projects.- Aligned our teams to the Feature Council’s prioritization. - Ensured a consistent User Experience by directing meetings with many of our decoupled teams, (i.e. Dialer​, ​FM​ Radio, ​Camera​, calculator, clock, and contacts) to strengthen Design Directions. This also provided visibility to UX Leadership for design approvals from a platform perspective.- Maximized visibility, I made it as possible for stakeholders to access the current state of all design deliverables(specs, mocks, red lines, assets) across all of the Marshmallow projects by setting up Drive directories​ easing the burden on our Designers and aligning expectations of cross organizational stakeholders, particularly engineering.- Tracked requirements, dependencies, prior decisions, and updates to ensure that all stakeholders had visibility into project status. This included tracking over ​30 teams​ with Android OS dependencies, which exposed potential risks and areas of concern.- Initiated Design Reviews where needed. Over the course of the release, I coordinated over 50 Design Reviews.
