Meet Yomi, an industrial designer at Google who was instrumental in Pixel’s recent #Pixel9a launch. “I’ve been interested in design for as long as I can remember. Design is rooted in curiosity, and I’ve always been curious about how things work and appear. I lead design efforts and collaborations with partner teams across engineering, manufacturing, and marketing to shape the Pixel A-series phones,” Yomi says. At the outset, Yomi’s passion for design was a key driver of his approach. “As both the design lead and a lifelong fan of the product, I wanted to add another dimension to the A-series,” he says. “When making design decisions, I sought to shape the product so it accomplished our mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible. In short, my goal was to build an affordable yet super-powerful device to bring the power of Google to the masses.” Of course, Yomi didn’t work on this alone — collaboration with partner teams was a key part of the process. The end result was a phone with a strikingly streamlined look: Pixel 9a has a nearly flat back, featuring a redesigned thin camera bump inspired by the surface tension of water droplets. For anyone interested in pursuing similar work, Yomi shares three words that have guided his career, “I think the key to being a good designer can be summarized by this: curiosity, compassion, and mindfulness. As long as you are curious about why certain things are done a certain way, feel compassion to help others, and mindfully pay attention to the present moment, you’re good to go.”  Explore roles like Yomi’s and other opportunities at Google → goo.gle/4kKGHrd #LifeatGoogle
