At Material Design team, we define Google's design system. we lead the visual direction and overall look and feel of Google products and the Google UI design system. In 2024–2025, our team launched Material Expressive, an evolution of our design language that brings Google's design philosophy and principles more deeply into digital experiences.

In 2023-2024, I worked on defining how Google AI could look like in the future, what’s the AI branding, overall design strategy for AI integration, and how it would look like for each prodcut.

As a Visual Lead for google design system, I lead the visual direction and implementation of Google Shape System, responsible for creative direction, guideline and design tokens that drive shape implementation across Google's UI.

I helped craft key Google Design updates that were revealed on stage at Google I/O in 2023 and 2025. I was honored to serve as a speaker at Google I/O Shanghai 2025, representing the Google Material Design team.
