Hello!
I'm Yobi.
I’m a Product Designer at Google, who lives in California. I embrace human-centered design and have a love for simplicity.
I have been designing experiences, studying users, and working with multidisciplinary teams on delivering elegant solutions since 2010. Prior to joining Google, I led a team of amazing designers at NETGEAR and have helped several start-ups build successful product experience. With a background in architecture, I have been fortunate to work at award-winning firms, and was named as "40 under 40" lighting designers by Lighting Magazine. These experiences have awarded me opportunities to work closely with customers, engineers, stakeholders, and trained me how to approach complex problems with solutions that drive business goals while empowering users.
These days, you can find me building the best ad experience for YouTube. When I'm not working, you will find me making a perfect cup of coffee, or enjoying a bike ride. Feel free to drop me a line!
