I currently work at Google on the Nest team, focusing on the development and design of services that work with our home hardware. During my first two years at Google I was the lead designer on Nest Aware; a service which works with Nest cameras and speakers to provide intelligent alerts and give customers peace of mind. For that last two years I've been the lead designer on Nest Renew, a service that helps customers support the use and generation of clean energy from home.

Working under a creative director, I oversaw a team of two experience designers and worked directly with visual designers and developers. Clients I worked with include Verizon, McCormick Spice, Victoria’s Secret, Beats Music, Tiffany’s, L’Oréal Paris, and Equinox.
yale university school of medicine
2009 - 2010
Web technician
In 2008, the Yale School of Medicine decided to bring the separate web pages of each academic department together and create a single platform. As a web technician, I sifted through content to help designers understand what was important to our two main user types: hospital patients and prospective medical school students. After the team had designed a series of templates, I placed new content into pages, reviewed feedback from users, and checked live pages for bugs. The experience sparked my interest in building digital platforms that start with the needs of the user.
