Hi! I'm Hannah Johnston, a Canadian UX designer working on Google Cloud Storage in NYC.
I previously designed features for Google Search, including finance answers, nutrition information, dictionary definitions, movie showtimes, and various calculators.
My background is in Information Technology and Information Systems Science. I worked with physical input systems and made active video games. I continue to be interested in information visualization and ubiquitous computing.
