November 2020 in San Francisco

Hi, I’m Annie 👋

I’m currently building the future of shopping experiences at Google. Previously, I’ve worked on Google Travel and Search products.

I’m passionate about early-stage consumer product development and I advise startups on identifying user problems to drive ideation and validating product-market fit for early concepts as part of the Google for Startups Accelerator.

More broadly, I love exploring at the intersection of design, behavioral science, and complex systems. In my free time, I write a newsletter called “Collective Imagination,” create art, and learn about these topics:

  • Co-creation: How might we better encourage public participation in the co-creation process of digital and physical experiences?

  • Human-centered AI/ML: How might we apply a human-centered approach to understand and interact with emerging AI systems?

  • Community: How do centralized and decentralized communities form and operate? What makes a community thrive?
