About Kelly Dern
With 14 years of experience, I am passionate about creating inclusive and engaging video experiences for millions of users. I currently lead a Video AI team at Google, which includes Google Meet, Duo, and Livestreaming for Workspace. I oversee the design vision, strategy, and execution of innovative and user-centric video solutions that leverage AI. Prior to joining Google, I worked with Google Nest, start-ups, and adidas on various product and UX projects, ranging from hardware-software integration to health tech solutions. I received a Google Product Excellence Award for my design work on Inclusive Design Works, a game that simulates different impairments. I enjoy learning new skills and sharing my knowledge as a speaker, mentor, and advisor in the design community. I am currently a design advisor at ILLA, a platform that connects women in the outdoors, and a member of the Old Girls Club, a women+ think tank.
