Oh hi there!

I’m Melissa Kuo Bui, a senior UX Designer based in the Bay Area.

I've been working at Google since 2014, where I’ve spent most of my time working on improving Google Search on mobile and desktop. I'm currently designing shopping experiences on Google Search.

I love what I do, and believe that everyone can benefit from the user-centered problem solving process of UX Design.

In my 20% time, I teach UX Design to students, and lead initiatives to promote UX as a career.
