### Staff UX Manager @ YouTube @ Google

UX Design Lead for Stadia, focusing on a range of game platform features including child safety, social systems (chat, abuse, profiles), and content discovery.

### Interaction Designer @ Stadia @ Google

### Experience Designer @ Experience Studio @ Google
Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | Mountain View, California, United States
UX/UI Specialist at Experience Studio, the team behind Google Experience Centers - spaces for Google's most important visitors featuring unique, engaging exhibits that showcased Google's latest technologies.  Here, I focused on exhibits which incorporated or featured UI interaction, as well as designing custom run-of show interfaces to manage complex exhibit spaces.

### Interaction Designer @ gTech/Google Ads @ Google

Worked on a range of sales support tools such as customer support systems, knowledge bases, pitch creation, and CRM. Brought user centered design practices and research techniques to a team previously without UX support.  Hired and managed a team of designers to support (and eventually streamline) hundreds of tools used by the broader Google sales team.

### Senior User Experience Designer @ Blizzard Entertainment
Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Irvine, California

### User Experience Designer @ Blizzard Entertainment
Jan 2011 – Jan 2013 | Irvine, California
Striving for creative and elegant UI design.  Wireframes, prototypes, spreadsheets, whiteboard sketches, notebook sketches and discussion are the tools I use to communicate.  I enjoy the debate of design conceptualization as much as the detailed minutiae of drawing up the specifications.  I'm fortunate to work as a part of a team of User Experience professionals with an immense diversification of talent from which to learn.

### Prototype Artist @ Blizzard Entertainment
Jan 2009 – Jan 2011
Using a variety of interactive development tools such as Flash or Blend, create interactive prototypes to quickly iterate through feature design concepts.  For development, these prototypes are used as a guide, illustrating in detail the end user experience. The role is an extension of Information Architect and Scripting Engineer, drawing from both disciplines to help bridge the gap between (certainly not a replacement for either!).

### Information Architect @ EMC2/Geniant
Jan 2006 – Jan 2008

### Senior Designer @ Idea Integration
