I'm John Schlemmer,
Motion Lead at Google.
I lead a team of motion designers at Google in Mountain View, California.
I direct cross-platform animation efforts in Google apps from within the Material Design team
while defining, authoring, speaking and advocating the industry standards for animation in UI.
Motion Lead
Material Design lives in a world that’s a lot like ours – one that’s responsive, natural, aware, and intentional. With the world’s first systematic motion guidelines for UI, Material Design can help you produce motion that feels natural, while delivering a clear and cohesive experience for your users.
Inbox by Gmail
Motion Lead
Inbox by Gmail is a fresh start that goes beyond email to help you get back to what matters. See highlights without opening emails, organize travel information into trips, add intelligent reminders right to your inbox, and snooze messages to whenever (or wherever) you choose.
Google Calendar
Motion Lead
Make the most of every day. The new Google Calendar app helps you spend less time managing your schedule and more time enjoying it. Your events, including the ones added from Inbox and Gmail, are brought to life with images and maps to make it easy to see what's up ahead.
Gmail

Gmail is an easy to use email app that saves you time and keeps your messages safe. Get your messages instantly via push notifications, read and respond online and offline, and find any message quickly. And with the sleek new Material Design makeover, it looks better than ever.

Pokébiomes
The Pokébiome Project is the result of a small collaboration between two life-long Nintendo fanatics. Based on original designs by Steven Crosby, these three starters will always hold a special place in any fan's heart. How were we ever expected to only choose one of them?
