As part of the Core business unit I was the first Domain Lead for UX, overseeing User Experience productivity, tools, product excellence, and development velocity for all UX professionals across the company. I collaborated directly with other Domain Leads – from Machine Learning to Networking to Engineering Application Frameworks – to guide the vision and strategy for effective productivity across all of Google.

I was a co-founder of the Ambient for Google team, a x-functional and x-company design and strategy team that facilitates and supports efforts across the company to drive forward a long-term vision of the computing experience. I worked with multiple SVPs in Google's senior leadership team to see the road ahead out past a decade, and to make key investments in technology and experiences to make Google's ambient vision a reality.

I was a co-founder for Google’s efforts focused on virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). I built the UX team from the ground up, established the culture and onboarding best practices for the entire team, partnered closely with Industrial Design and Hardware Engineering, was the executive sponsor of our Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Council, and participated in all aspects of running the whole team (resource allocation, product management, strategy, roadmap, M&A, go/no-go on key hardware and software initiatives, etc.).As Director of UX for Daydream, I led a team that shipped Google Cardboard, Daydream VR platform, Tilt Brush, Google Earth VR, ARCore for Android, Poly, Blocks, VR180 video and cameras, Playground AR, and more. Under my design leadership the team won numerous awards for both software and hardware design, including the Lumiere Century, Cannes Lion (Gold and Silver), IF Design, Red Dot, UX Awards (Gold and Silver), Proto, and MWC Global.I was deeply involved in the full experience (ID, UX of HW and SW) of Daydream hardware devices (both 1st party and with partners), such as Tango phones, the Lenovo Mirage Solo, and two generations of Daydream View VR headset and controller. Adi Robertson of The Verge wrote that Google's first gen headset was the "best mobile headset" she'd ever used, complimenting its unique "squishy foam-and-fabric body" design that "avoids looking ostentatiously high-tech or intimidating".

While leading the design for Google Search – and during the transition from desktop to mobile – I realized we needed an entirely new design language for the direct-manipulation interfaces that were quickly becoming ubiquitous. As part of the push to bring Google Search into this new world, I collaborated with a few key designers at the company to craft that new language, which we called "Quantum Paper". That effort became Material Design, Google's design language for all applications and the Android platform.

I was the first designer for Google Autocomplete (predictive search queries). In my time as Head of Design, I built an entire UX team from the ground up and I led Google Search through three major redesigns (including the first ever), the full transition from desktop-majority usage to mobile-majority usage, and the addition of new features such as voice search, the Knowledge Graph, and the Assistant. My design work has directly saved many multiples of human lifetimes of time for people.

As the Head of Design for Google Search, I was a co-lead of the first redesign of all of Google's core products: Project Kennedy. The effort was started by Larry Page as one of his first big initiatives after becoming CEO. Myself and a handful of designers developed an entirely new design for Google's flagship products and figured out how to apply it in record time.

I joined Google as an interaction designer (UX designer, product designer) in 2006. My first project was Google Apps for Your Domain (aka Google Apps, aka GSuite, aka Google Workspace). I then became the lead designer for an early Google Profiles product, after which I was the first designer for Google Autocomplete in Search and soon after that I became the Head of Design for Google Search.
