Making type and typography accessible and available to everyone.

As co-founder, Design Manager and team lead for Google Fonts I’m responsible for all of Google’s font development projects (including Google Sans, Roboto, Noto, etc.), Google’s icons (Material Symbols, used by all Google products) and Google’s open source font catalog at fonts.google.com

Google Fonts and our icons are used by all of Google’s products, Material Design, and over half of the websites on the web,

The recent redesign of our website was recognized with a Webby Award for Best User Interface 2024, Google Sans Flex, the newest version of Google’s brand typeface, received a Red Dot Design Award for Typeface Design 2024.

I’m leading a team of designers and UX program managers, working with a network of external type foundries and design vendors as well as collaborating with teams throughout the company.
