About

Currently @ Google, I lead the design for first-party language experiences on Google Search with a user base of 1.5 Billion users every month! I have over nine years of experience designing digital products in a variety of domains, including consumer, investment banking, telecommunications, SaaS, and B2B applications. I've worn many hats throughout my career, from interaction designer focused on specific modules of an application to product designer responsible for the design, strategy, and vision of the entire product. I'm also a design mentor at nonprofit organizations where I help and guide other designers as they navigate their career journeys.
