Thrilled to be back at Google & on the Search Design System team!The SDS team is the go-to source for the design standards around Search. As a team we’re responsible for creating, maintaining and teaching design styles, tokens, components, and templates that Search and partner teams use to deliver features on the Search Results Page. We enable teams to create simple, modern, and cohesive experiences. We provide engineering and design resources including front-end engineering components, a Figma sticker sheet, a design guidelines website, and more.
As the only UXW, I develop articles and documentation for the SDS design guidelines website, determine the Information Architecture of our documentation, and drive cross-functional alignment for naming conventions. I collaborate with UX Design, UX Research, Engineering, and Product Management partners to create SDS guidelines that meet the needs of its users. I’ve also stepped in and taken over some tech writer duties.
Publish articles and documentation for components, styles, and patterns on the internal SDS guidelines website
Publish documentation via changelists using internal tools
Experiment and use generative AI & LLM
Collaborate with Staff UXW and cross-functional partners to iterate on design website content structure and contribute to the ongoing naming and taxonomy process
Edit and improve existing SDS guideline articles and documentation
Developed a framework with other Google UXWs on how to decide if LLM and Generative AI is right for Google products
