Recorder is Google's first official audio recorder for Android. The app uses AI to transcribe your audio, so you can easily search, edit, and share. It does it all on-device, so your audio stays private.
Originally a Pixel exclusive, the app was demoed on-stage to press and consumers at the 2019 Google Hardware event. It quickly became a marquee feature and differentiator for the Pixel 4 phone.
Led a team of 5 creatives and product marketers working on the product's launch.
Defined privacy as a core pillar of the product positioning based on insights about power users or audio recorders (i.e., journalists).
Successfully advocated for privacy-preserving features, partnering with Product and Engineering stakeholders to weigh trade-offs between privacy and convenience for users.

Briefed and led creative teams to craft launch assets and the script for the product announcement at the 2019 Google Hardware Event.
