Born from Google X - the moonshot factory - Everyday Robots is building a new type of robot. One that can learn by itself, to help anyone with (almost) anything.

As Head of Design for Everyday Robots, I am responsible for ensuring Design as a perspective and Designing as a practice is embedded across the EDR organization. As a member of the leadership team, I represent Design at the highest level in the organization, and I am tasked with building a world-class Design capability and team, in order for Everyday Robots to deliver on its audacious moonshot.

The focus in my 18 months was:

• Recruit exceptional, highly collaborative, and diverse groups of designers and creative partners.

• Establish the first EDR Design Principles to help translate our Brand's Vision & Mission into tangible and meaningful robots and experiences.

• Formulate short and long-term Design project priorities and strategies for achieving them.

• Initiate Design concepting, exploration, and definition of EDR's. next-generation Robot.

• Create holistic Human-Robot Interaction experiences to ensure our current Robots are Predictable, Acceptable, Forgivable, and Delightful.
