It's easy to solve a problem that everyone sees, but it's hard to solve a problem that almost no one sees.

If you're not having doubt, you're not pushing the boundaries far enough.

I started designing the greenest the most connected home before the iPhone and the iPad.

Google has the business resources, global scale and platform reach to accelerate Nest growth across hardware, software and services for the home globally.

We built the iPod in weeks. It had to be what I thought it was going to be because there wasnt time for endless refinements.

When I encounter a problem - something that's not quite right with a product - I enjoy breaking it down in my mind and exploring possible alternative solutions: Why this? Why not that? I apply the latest in technology and design to reinvent that product and solve my frustrations.

We're thrilled to join Google. With their support, Nest will be even better placed to build simple, thoughtful devices that make life easier at home, and that have a positive impact on the world.
