Summary
Tim Smith is a product design leader with 11 years of experience crafting hardware and software experiences at scale, currently managing product design at Meta after a hands-on design tenure there as a product designer. He led AR and mixed-reality UX at Alphabet—shaping system UI, input modalities, OOBE and companion apps for AR Glasses featured at Google I/O—and founded and grew Verily’s UX team for clinical wearables and dashboards. Tim’s background spans consumer email and mobile products (Inbox/Gmail), standards-driven visual systems, and practical industrial design for assistive and wearable hardware, bridging visual craft with rigorous product thinking. A Rhode Island School of Design BFA, he combines studio-grade visual sensibility with enterprise-grade design leadership and hiring experience. Known for over-promising and over-delivering, he brings a bias for shipping polished, cross-disciplinary products that reconcile dense technical constraints with elegant user interactions. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of setting design system standards that persist across platforms and teams.
