I’ve spent the last decade at Google evolving how the world discovers information. Currently, as UX Lead for YouTube Search, I oversee the strategic vision for the Search Results Page, managing a team of designers and driving "big bet" innovation, most notably leading the 0-to-1 launch of generative AI features like AI Video Summaries and AI Search Overviews.

Prior to YouTube, I specialized in scaling high-impact design ecosystems. As a UX Lead for Google Search, I grew the Food & Dining team from a solo operation to a nimble design team, managing the end-to-end experience for a high-volume query category. Earlier, at Google Maps, I helped lead the strategic shift from navigation to local discovery, overseeing updates like Dishes, Saving/Lists, and Group Planning.

My foundational years as a game designer and agency designer (working with clients from the NFL to Mattel) taught me the vital importance of inclusive design and the power of creating genuine delight. This unique lens, combining play with utility, informs my work as a mentor, lecturer, and workshop facilitator. I am a firm believer that the best design tools are those that foster creativity in others.

Beyond the screen, I am a dedicated abstract painter and gardener. Much of my free time is spent renovating a cabin in the Catskills with my husband and our senior rescue dog, George.
