About the Speaker
Alice Au Quan is a design executive, futurist, and creative leader who believes the future of technology must be designed with humanity at its center. With over two decades of leadership at companies like Google, Ripple, and Walmart, Alice has built and led global teams that transform emerging technologies into breakthrough products that drive real-world impact. Her work sits at the intersection of technology, creativity, and meaning, blending human-centered design with business strategy to deliver patented innovations, first-of-their-kind experiences, and measurable results. Today, Alice leads enterprise design at GoFundMe, the world’s largest fundraising platform, empowering nonprofits to scale their missions, tell their stories, and create lasting change. Alice recently launched AI Design for Good, a community-driven initiative that brings together designers, technologists, and change makers to ensure AI serves humanity—not just progress. Grounded in a belief that great design can drive culture, innovation, and business transformation, Alice advocates for a human-centric, design-forward approach to shaping the future. She is dedicated to building transdisciplinary teams, fostering inclusive leadership, and pushing the boundaries of how design can create meaning in an increasingly digital world. When she’s not designing or writing, Alice finds joy through art, music, hiking, and traveling the world with her husband and two teenagers—who continually inspire her to stay curious, creative, and grounded.
About the Session
We stand at a turning point where AI is reshaping not only our tools, but the very fabric of human creativity, culture, and work. As design leaders, we have a choice: will we let technology dictate the future, or will we shape it with intention, values, and vision? In this session, Alice Au Quan - design executive, futurist, and creator of AI Design for Good — draws from decades of experience leading teams at Google, Walmart, Ripple, and GoFundMe to explore what it means to design responsibly in the age of intelligent machines. She’ll share frameworks for balancing innovation with ethics, showcase examples where AI has uplifted humanity (and where it has gone wrong), and challenge us to imagine the jobs of the future that lean into our most human strengths: empathy, creativity, and meaning-making. Ovetta Sampson could be co-presenter (confirming her schedule and availability) She is founding partner of AIDesignforGood.com You can learn more about me at aliceauquan.com
