Google (2023), London
Interaction designer, Android UX
I worked in the Android UX design team as design lead looking into hardware & software interactions.
Most of my work is confidential, but some current work can be seen within the Google Pixel Fold, especially around Postures and Dual screen translate.
A example snippet shown below.
Example : Dual Screen Translate
I was the Android design lead for its dual screen translate features released during IO 2023. We took a concept from early stages to a feature readiness prototype in 4 months, interfacing across Android, Translate and hardware teams.
This feature is launched via Google’s interpreter AI assistant & holding up the Fold in certain postures. Our aim was to use the Pixel Fold’s unique hardware capabilities to aid interpersonal communication across language divides, with minimum user effort.
Constant testing via prototyping & understanding key questions around the postural use, privacy & trust.
Definition of multi-modal micro interactions to engender trust and understanding of this feature.
These were defined by consulting with Machine Learning and Google Translate’s feature experts.
Launched during Google IO 2023
