Irene Au has been building bridges between technology and creativity her whole life. From being the child of Chinese immigrants in South Carolina who wanted to study design and dance (but chose engineering) to being the voice of user centric design at tech companies who thought design was the result of complex calculations, she has developed a fascinating way of projecting her power and expertise in the world in the form of values based design in ways that are both practical and transcendent.
Irene has led User Experience at Netscape, Yahoo, Google and Khosla Ventures and has led Human Experience in Yoga, Meditation, Art, Raising a Family and Being Irene Au.
