Have you ever use Siri? How do you feel about it? Do you think it is smart, does it help you sometimes, is Siri make your experience using iPhone getting easier? Today, we are going to look at the Design Manager of Siri, Sue Booker.
Sue Booker is currently the Design Manager of Siri Health & Wellness at Apple, she starts work on Siri in 2014 as a Siri Accessibility, and she starts work at Apple in 2010. Before she works at Apple she was a design manager at Nokia and Yahoo, Interaction Design at Openwave Systems and IDEO.
Sue Booker’s goal is “to create products that are rich and satisfying both visually and functionally.” She works on UI for more than 15 years, so she knows how to make the Siri user experience getting better and better. She starts work for Siri in 2014, and by looking at the history of Siri, we can see a lot of improvement in Siri this product.
Today’s Siri is no longer an app or just a feature on the iPhone. Today it is a product release from Apple that works across Mac, Home Pod, and all the iOS device is an important character in the Apple ecosystem. All this change comes after Sue joins this “team Siri” after 2014. And today, Siri is getting more like a helper inside the phone, rather than an app that can read voice and do some searching. Which much fits Apple’s plan to deliver Siri “Siri lets you stay connected without lifting a finger” and now it does even more. The improvement of the Siri also confirms Sue’s thought of her job “create products that are rich and satisfying.”

Nice pick and well I agree that Siri is getting better, especially voice recognition of an English as a second language speaker. I use Mac OS Siri from time to time, especially when I am bored. I try to fish out what Siri knows including me. Well it sticks to its main purpose with respect of privacy, which I think Sue did a good job on that.
