I’m Erica Hu, a London-based design engineer, anthropologist, and ethnographic researcher. I work across research, interaction design, and technology to understand how products shape the way people think, relate, and act.
I’m currently the founder of Glia, a venture-backed startup exploring privacy-first ambient memory. My work has also included product research, cultural strategy, UX, and foresight across media, mobility, education, automotive, and consumer technology.
