Hi, I’m Dean Hudson, a Lead UX Designer at Google based in Sydney, Australia.
My work currently focuses on designing the next generation of Google Maps, exploring how AI-enabled experiences and agentic flows can empower users to interact with and update the world around them.
I'm passionate about helping designers navigate their career in tech, scale their impact, and elevate their craft. Book a session with me to discuss:
Portfolio review & restructure: Creating an impactful design portfolio
Interview strategy: Clear, actionable tips for approaching all stages of the interview loop
Designing for ambiguity: Practical advice on how to approach and structure complex product problems
Career progression & strategy: Insights on applying to senior roles and navigating career growth within large organisations
