I’m Yvonne, an industrial designer with specializations in CMF and soft goods. I am fundamentally curious about humans. I hold degrees in the social sciences and music performance, and I bring this attention to social context and emotional nuance into my design perspective. I am currently exploring the future of XR at Google. In my off-time, you can find me practicing combat sports or spending quality time with my dogs.
