Google Assistant: AuTOMOTIVE

Our team aimed to reimagine the hands-free Google Assistant experience on mobile.  We believed that more people could benefit from a faster, frictionless, and more proactive conversational helper.

Starting with a focus on drivers and a hands free experience in the vehicle, I led UX within a product team to create a version of Assistant on mobile that was efficient, powerful, and proactive.

Role & contributions

I led UX design from concept to launch, working closely with product management and engineering to scope features and define our roadmap. I also worked closely with other cross-PA design teams, collaborated closely with research, and presented work when decisions were needed by leads in order to move forward.

My work included:

  • Defining roadmap and scope

  • Presenting work to leads to get alignment and drive consensus

  • Interaction design work

  • Iterative testing and rapid prototyping

  • Designing within NHTSA guidelines and evaluating against them
