Ann-Lee’s turning point in her career was when she worked in product marketing at Google in New York. As the company grew, her work shifted from being more process focused. Therefore she took a year off to visit art classes, moved to Cologne and studied at the Cologne International School of Design. After she left KISD, she was attracted by the challenge to start research from scratch at Eyeo, where no user data was collected at all.
