About

With over 15 years of experience in product design, entrepreneurship, and social impact, I am a leader and a creative problem-solver. As the VP of Product Design for AR and Wearables at Meta, I oversee the design strategy and execution of cutting-edge products that enhance human connection and interaction. I leverage my domain expertise in AR and wearables, as well as my skills in entrepreneurship, marketing, and analysis, to deliver innovative and user-centric solutions. Previously, I led the design teams for Google's hardware and services, including Pixel Watch, Pixel Buds, Google Lens, and ARCore, among others. I also founded and managed Hattery, a design and innovation studio, and Soup, a social enterprise platform. I am passionate about using design and technology for good, and I co-founded WellDone International, a nonprofit that builds water and sanitation systems in Africa. I also serve as a board member of City Systems, a civic innovation organization, and as an adjunct faculty of social design at Maryland Institute College of Art. I am motivated by the mission of building products that empower people and communities, and I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team. I speak multiple languages, including Spanish, Mandarin, Fujianese, and Cantonese.
