Ann Niou.
Product designer with 11 years of experience guiding teams through ambiguous problem spaces and emerging technology to make people's lives better. Currently leading GenAI UX for enterprise security at Google.
I'm a systems thinker and generalist who thrives in solving unprecedented challenges – partnering across disciplines to build scalable programs and systems, imagine novel solutions, and turn deep technical complexity into intuitive high-quality products people love.
In my free time, find me at the pottery studio, out for a run, nerding out about coffee somewhere, or planning (if not on) my next travel adventure.
