Working to create human-friendly computers. From toy robots at Sphero, Disney and Mattel, to phones and wearables at Google, and empathetic conversational AI's at Maslo and Inflection. I have been driven to develop products and experiences that bring people and technology closer together in a more natural and enjoyable way.
I published a book with my longtime friend & collaborator, Cansu Hizli: Designing AI Companions.
