Top SchoolTimothy Whalin is a strategic UX leader and Principal/Director with 13+ years of hands-on experience designing multimodal experiences for billions of users across Google Search Ads and Amazon’s Alexa and retail ecosystems. He combines deep product-level craft (voice, wearables, in-car, AR/vision-first, mobile and TV) with cross-organizational strategy, having defined north-star CX frameworks for proactivity, adaptivity, and multi-assistant handoffs that shaped architecture and org priorities. At Google he led GenAI ad formats and vision-first monetization work; at Amazon he launched Alexa automotive partnerships, voice shopping, Dash, and platform-wide design guides. Known for inventing new tools and methodologies when traditional UX falls short, he also publishes on UX and mentors senior designers. Based in Seattle, he balances technical fluency (front-end, interaction design) with a PhD-level appreciation for systems thinking and category-theory minded problem solving hinted at in his GitHub bio.
