#25 | Shiva Jaini | Driving intrapreneurship
In episode 25, I have the chance to talk to Shiva Jaini, Product Design Manager at Google - on driving intrapreneurship as a designer.
Certainly one of the most talented design intrapreneurs I had the chance to interview. We learn about:
- his journey of driving YouTube Kids during his time as a Staff UX Designer at YouTube (from an idea -> internal concept video -> a co-founded internal project -> nowadays an actual deployed product that people enjoy around the world)
- his experience working on Google’s Area120 and partner with several start-ups
- how to create confidence through design and drive internal incubation projects and ventures as a designer
- how he developed an audiovisual kitchen assistant which successfully graduated within 6 months to help kickstart the meals effort on Google Assistant
- how to inspire and convince stakeholders through vision and the importance of prototyping to drive impact
- insights from working on Google Assistant on voice design, understanding context and multi-modal design
This episode was recorded end of last year during uxindiaconf (ux-india.org) in Hydrabad where both Shiva and I were speakers. Thanks a lot for your time Shiva!
