Born from Google X - the moonshot factory - Everyday Robots built a new type of robot. One that could learn by itself, to help anyone with (almost) anything.
As Head of Design for Everyday Robots, I was responsible for ensuring Design as a perspective and Designing as a practice was embedded across the EDR organization. As a member of the leadership team, I represented Design at the highest level in the organization, and I was tasked with building a world-class Design capability and team, in order for Everyday Robots to deliver on its audacious moonshot.
My focus during my tenure at Everyday Robots was:
Recruited exceptional, highly collaborative, and diverse groups of designers and creative partners.
Established the first EDR Design Principles to help translate our Brand's Vision & Mission into tangible and meaningful robots and experiences.
Formulated short and long-term Design project priorities and strategies for achieving them.
Initiated Design concepting, exploration, and definition of EDR's next-generation Robot.
Created holistic Human-Robot Interaction experiences to ensure our current Robots were Predictable, Acceptable, Forgivable, and Delightful.
The Everyday Robots Moonshot was shut down in 2023.
