I am a UX Design Lead on Google's Privacy and Data Protection team.
Burton Rast is a lifelong designer and data privacy activist. Previously at IDEO and AIGA, he is now a UX Design Lead on Google's Privacy and Data Protection Team. As a designer crafting solutions enabled by a foundational layer of machine learning, he believes we have a responsibility — both as individuals and as an industry — to create systems that serve human needs in an equitable manner; those that honor privacy as a fundamental human right. Using traditional UX design methodologies, he works with multidisciplinary teams to affect this effort through a comprehensive process that identifies the needs of the people for whom he is designing for through observation and research; a process wherein design decisions are validated through iterative prototyping and testing.
