Tiffany Quon
I'm a product manager for Google Maps Street View and Immersive View, exploring emerging technologies to help people visually understand the world at scale through 3D photoreal experiences.
I write, draw, and build games and other interactive browser-based work. I like thinking about how everything makes me feel, but especially how technology makes me feel.
