The Future of

The youngest sibling in the Android family.

Where early operating systems acted like eldest siblings — disciplined, logical, boundary-setting pioneers — Didi enters like the youngest in the family: more playful, emotionally intelligent, and unafraid to provoke. This OS doesn’t just help you do things faster — it helps you feel more present, more connected, and more joyful while doing them.

Didi is an exploration into the future of mobile operating systems — a bold reimagining born out of the copy-paste fatigue in today’s design landscape. Inspired by the creative spirit of the youngest sibling, Didi doesn’t follow the rules — it questions them, bends them, and reshapes them with charm, curiosity, and a bit of mischief.

Instead of competing with Android, Didi complements it — a younger sibling that brings joy, humor, and lightness into the ecosystem. It’s part robot, part interface, part companion. Didi is the first of a coming wave I call the Personality Layer — an emerging space where systems don’t just respond to users; they relate to them.

Building Customizable Avatars with Generative AI and Emotional Depth.

Didi bridges the gap between technology and our inner child. Through animation and personality, it transforms UX into an emotionally resonant experience. It’s all about being in a space that reflects who you are, what matters to you, and how you want to feel.

I feel a small pride when I think about how much I learned while working on this project: and how much more I plan on learning from Didi. Because this project really is a reflection of who I am, I find that I end up learning more about myself to more I give myself to a project.

Introducing Google Didi

Timeless

How do we think about the 'user' first? What does it mean for an experience to feel 'singular?' Or a look that people have never seen before, yet feel connected to it immediately when they see it? This is the question I ask myself with design all the time.

Meet Google Didi

This project allowed me to experiment with aesthetic storytelling, character-driven UI, and technical design across motion, interaction, and visual systems. Didi is here to entertain, to help, and to grow alongside you.

Designed with AI at its core, Didi learns what you value most — from people to priorities — and gently declutters your digital world through a new Home Feed. This feed isn’t just functional; it’s expressive. Didi greets you each day with your most relevant information — weather, time, notifications, analytics, and messages — all layered in a personality-forward interface that feels more like a conversation than a control panel.

Next, I have plans for rigging Didi into a lamp. And maybe adding a voice for him too. There's a little of sing song voicee I have in mind for Didi and it'll be fun to see him talk back.
