Approach to the design in both art and engineering.

Today is my last day at Google.

I started working in-house at Google almost three years ago. I built a team from scratch. I was fortunate to hire a team of a very talented designers. We introduced Visual Design as a discipline to Google. And we produced amazing work together. I’m very proud of my team, and I wish them well. They have a lot of challenging work ahead. But for me, it’s time to move on.

This article is on the conflict between the design and engineering people, while they were approaching to the filed of design. Who can dare to refer the Greek word, the techné, which means art and technology simultaneously in this situation?
