About Homer Ong
Head of UX Research, Local at Google
Jack of all trades, master of none. I've been a SWE, PM, UXD, and a management consultant — all before becoming a UX Researcher after joining Google. Regardless of the role, I've always focused on human-centered design and innovation. Experienced in change management and organizational development, I build teams that thrive, drive strategy, and challenge the status quo — all while having fun. I sense signals strong and emerging, quant and qual, direct and lateral — across a myriad of sources — to figure out what's coming next and how to go after it. I'm humbled to have worked with some of the best companies in the world — Google, Nike, Target, Coke, William Morris Endeavor, Levi Strauss & Co, Salesforce, and more — and take with me lessons learned from some of the smartest, kindest, most creative people I've ever met.
Please note: I do not provide product feedback or entertain business development meetings.
