Google Nest design systems

Overview

At the onset of the pandemic, transitioning to collaborative tools like Figma became essential. I played a key role in leading that shift for the Google smart devices team, ensuring a smooth and efficient rollout. The adoption was remarkably successful, Figma quickly became a cornerstone of our design workflow, dramatically improving cross-functional collaboration and accelerating our design cycles.

Responsibilities:

  • Established Figma as the primary collaborative design platform, structuring libraries, components, and permissions for efficient team adoption.

  • Created and maintained reusable components, patterns, and tokens aligned with brand, accessibility, and platform standards.

  • Partnered closely with engineering to ensure design-to-code parity and smooth handoff workflows.

  • Drove cross-functional alignment by working with product, UX research, and marketing to integrate system usage into everyday workflows.

  • Developed documentation, onboarding materials, and best practices to support designers at different levels of system maturity.

Designing components in Figma starts with structure, not decoration. I build with auto layout, variants, and clear constraints so every element adapts with intention, not guesswork.

Each component is crafted to scale across breakpoints, maintaining visual precision while staying flexible enough for real product needs.

Key Results

More that 100+ teams on Figma started using the library. 136k Components inserted from the Design System in the first month after launch.
