Established new research methodologies for conversational, multi-modal, and multi-turn experiences, turning insights into model specifications adopted across Google.

• Co-led the vision that became Personal Intelligence: Led Search's personalization strategy from organizational misalignment to a shared product vision. Co-presented to Sundar Pichai a strategy that shipped as Personal Intelligence, launched January 2026, connecting Search to Gmail, Photos, YouTube, and search history.

Led UX as Google Search scaled from 100 million to 2 billion daily users, directing design systems, new product surfaces, vertical strategy, trust frameworks, and long-term vision.

• Built and scaled a global design organization: Grew the Search UX team from ~25 to ~150 across eight countries. Established UX as a strategic partner by maturing disciplines across design, research, content, and program management, and building quality programs that made the team's work legible at an executive level.

• Transformed Search's visual and design foundation: Directed a multi-year design system program, including Material Design for Search, that evolved Search beyond 10 blue links into a modern, content-forward experience. Improved aesthetic perception, accelerated design-engineering handoff, and unlocked significant advertising revenue by redesigning how ads and organic content coexist at scale. Co-authored the Search 2020 principles, a cross-Search strategy adopted as org-wide OKRs, setting the design direction for Search's next decade.

• Launched new product surfaces at global scale: Led UX for Google Discover, Gboard, and Google News alongside a vertical strategy across 20 distinct Search categories (3 exceeding 1B MAUs) that outpaced core Search growth and powered experiences across Google's broader ecosystem.

• Led trust, safety, and regulatory programs at global scale: Built foundational trust programs including SafeSearch and Privacy+. Led regulatory UX frameworks across 30+ countries, including GDPR and DMA, balancing user-centered design with legal and business constraints.
