What I did

Project Management, UX Strategy & Planning, User Research, UI Design (Wireframing & Prototyping), and Brand Support Activities for global launch

What LG did

I planned and designed the full set of scenarios and voice
commands for LG appliances, which were then visually designed

by a UI designer and developed by LG’s engineering team,

before being integrated with Google AI.

Planned and designed all scenarios and voice commands for Google-connected LG appliances, developed by the LG
engineering team and integrated with Google AI.

All scenarios and voice commands related to LG appliances were developed entirely by LG. Leveraging long-standing customer insights and proprietary appliance data, LG was able to design proactive, AI-driven interaction scenarios tailored to its ecosystem. This foundational work was executed in-house to ensure the experience aligned with LG’s product logic and user expectations. It was later integrated with Google Assistant technology.

Challenge

Designing family-centered smart home experiences required balancing diverse family needs—including child-friendly interactions, elder support, and seamless multi-device integration—while coordinating between LG’s development team and Google’s AI integration.

Objective

The objective was to create a holistic smart home experience that strengthens family connection, simplifies daily routines, and provides safe, intuitive interactions for all ages through seamless AI integration across devices.

Result

Delivered a proactive voice UX that boosted household efficiency by 46%, simplified meal preparation for children, supported elder care with real-time alerts, recommended personalized content for children and grandparents, and launched globally strengthening brand impact and enhancing family well-being.

Research

A user survey was conducted on families with children in the U.S.

and multigenerational households, including high-end senior

townhouses in Kansas City, Missouri, where advanced smart

homes and smart appliances are fully installed.

Planned and designed all scenarios and voice commands for Google-connected LG appliances, developed by the LG
engineering team and integrated with Google AI.

As a result, the survey yielded a variety of meaningful insights.
