Irene Au - Bay Area’s Stealth User Experience Leader
by peterme
For the longest time, not that many people working in experience design had heard of Irene Au. Which was surprising, considering her background — she began at Netscape when it was going strong, then spent 8 years at Yahoo, building one of the sharpest UX teams in Silicon Valley, and is now Director of User Experience at Google.
In the last year or so, Irene has become much more public. She spoke at our first MX Event (in an interview with Jeffrey Veen), and appeared on a panel at SXSW (which you can listen to here.) Irene’s insights into what it takes to build a successful experience design practice within large, fast-paced (and mostly technology-driven) organizations are definitely resonant, as this blog post demonstrates.
We’re excited that Irene is once again joining us at MX East, where she’ll be speaking solo on what it takes to elevate the practice of design within organizations so that they can deliver great experiences to the world. As always, use promotional code BLOG to get 10% off the registration price.
