Info
I am currently a user experience and visual designer at Google. The primary focus of my work is on the strategic vision and product design for Google’s geo and local products including Google Maps, Local Search, Google Earth, and Street View. I work everyday to create experience that help users understand the world around them in more intuitive, direct, and delightful ways.
In my 20% time I contribute to the brand design and strategy efforts with Google Ventures portfolio companies. I also support Google’s internal education program teaching design fundamentals and typography to Googlers outside of the design organization.
