Hi, I’m Sam Canon and I support design and ops teams for a living.

Currently, I am a UX Program Manager supporting the Play Design Systems team at Google.

Recently, I was the Staff Design Program Manager at Twitter before the layoffs. But before Twitter, I was an Executive Producer at ueno.

Previously, I was the Production Director at FITCH and before that, Executive Producer of Audio and Localization at Headspace.

About

I deliver highly polished user-experiences for some of the most distinguished agencies and brands. I am known for an empathetic work style focused on mentorship and persistent learning. I harness work that allows for deeper client relationships as well as space for culturally diverse teams to reach expansive goals in their careers.

Advocacy begins in leadership.
