Google’s Interaction Designers take tasks and make them intuitive and easy-to-use for billions of people around the globe.

We collaborate closely with each other and with engineering and product management to create industry-leading products that deliver value for the people who use them, and for Google’s businesses.

Labs is a group focused on incubating early-stage efforts in support of Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
