Laura Palotie

Staff UX Writer & Content Strategist at Google

I was Arin's manager and intern host during her time at Google last summer. She quickly established herself as a highly valued and trusted team member, conducting independent user research and audits and delivering strategic content design principles and guidelines to a cross-functional audience. Her PM, Research, and Design partners all commended positively on her work and insights. Especially her work on shopping push notifications led to highly actionable recommendations the team is still using today. She always had a positive attitude, eagerness to look outside of the 'confines' of string writing, and boldness to present her ideas.
