Hi, I’m Annie 👋
I’m currently building the future of AI-powered shopping experiences at Google, focusing on image generation and ARML. I advise startups on identifying user problems and early product direction as part of the Google for Startups Accelerator.
In my free time, I enjoy following my curiosity and sharing the questions and ideas I’m exploring through a bi-weekly Substack newsletter Playable Memos on design, systems, and culture. I also occasionally paint.
