About

I lead teams that develop experiences to inspire action and improve your life. You’ve probably interacted with some of my work at Google where I led design on emerging health and fitness opportunities. Prior to that I led visualization design at Fitbit and Strava, and worked in the newsroom as a Graphics Editor at the New York Times. These days I’m responsible for the Google Workspace Labs design team where we’re creating new products that help you get more done with AI.
