GOOGLE DESIGN WORK

EDE SCHWEIZER



I'm a Creative Director and Product Designer, working with Nike, Apple, Google, and Pinterest. This is a collection of my work while at Google, 2009 - 2014.

I led the framework design for Android and several Google apps for both Android and iOS. Two significant contributions during this time was to design and launch the Google Play brand and to develop the idea of Google Now.

Google Now brought a new level of design detail to the company. With its debut on Android first, I integrated predictive powers within Google search and helped it become the most adaptive agent of its kind. Winning several awards for innovation and design.
