It’s no secret that the healthcare system is broken, and that infertility is acutely underserved. Women are choosing to have children later, fertility treatments are considered elective and overall, the healthcare system hasn’t kept pace with reproductive health. Through better data, we hope to help women become pregnant and give them control over their reproductive health. Glow, the app, is a better way to get pregnant by asking women to track their reproductive health. Glow’s data better inform women of their fertility window. Glow’s personalized recommendations and statistics are based on users’ (and the anonymized crowd’s) data; the more data shared, the more helpful Glow becomes.

Autonomous Units are independent divisions within Google who have the freedom to run like a startup. AUs' mission is to tackle the next billion dollar business idea by starting small and nimble. Also like a startup, AUs have a strict "Scale Fast or Fail Fast"mentality. I led product design for two AU properties, Disco and Prizes.
