Designing the future of Agentic experiences.
I’m Tim Hykes, a DC-based UX Designer at Google.I lead the design for Fantasy Sports in Google's AI Mode, turning complex data into play.
Currently, I’m reimagining the search experience by building AIM (AI Mode)—a conversational assistant that acts as an agent for fantasy sports fans. Beyond the screen, my work is rooted in over a decade of advocacy for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, having co-founded the Design + Diversity Conference to bridge the gap between design and human representation. I believe the most powerful digital products are the ones that make everyone feel seen and empowered.
