IYO is a Google X spinout reinventing the computer in light of advances in AI. As Head of Design, I lead user experience, including defining an entirely novel Auditory User Interface, as well as overseeing industrial design and brand.
Product strategy and design leadership for Alphabet's moonshot portfolio. Managed multi-disciplinary teams of software and hardware designers, user researchers, prototypers, and business strategists. Led the design of MVP software for Mineral, Tidal, many other Google X projects.
As Design Director at Tellart, I led diverse teams of engineers, designers, and researchers to imagine, prototype, and develop early product prototypes and interactive experiences, with a particular emphasis on emerging technologies (e.g. machine learning in consumer applications) and complex systems (e.g. the future of a gulf state). Our work was featured in international publications and received numerous awards, including the 2016 National Design Award in Interaction Design from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
