For many user queries that don’t have a single right answer, Google Search wasn’t serving user needs well. My team’s work involved activating creators of different types, surfacing their content and creating a thriving ecosystem on Google Search. The work spanned across multiple fronts from simplifying creation, aligning incentives including distribution, monetization, audience engagement and insights that all contribute to creators being successful.
Led a team of 15 designers including managing managers, and collaborated with multiple xFN teams across Search to drive the vision, strategy and execution of multiple new initiatives related to the Creator Presence and user-generated content (UGC) on Search. This includes content created on 3P platforms as well as new 1P efforts.
Our 1P creation efforts resulted in the experimental launch of Notes. Goal was to allow everyone to share their knowledge right on Search, helping others find the best answers for their subjective questions.
