Design Advocate | Product Storyteller
I'm a Design Advocate at Google; helping other designers create human-centered experiences on Google’s platforms. Proponent of pen before pixel, I use the Google Design Sprint methodology to help teams co-create, test, and build successful products. Prior to Google, I led user experience design efforts to build cross-platform products for start-ups, non-profits, and large corporations. Highlighted on Computer World’s Android Experts as “the person behind one of Android’s most powerful voices,” I bridge the gap between design and technology to bring stories to life.
