Karen Ng

I design AI products for complex, technical work, and help teams build with AI agents.

20 years of UX design across AI, security, and healthcare. Now I ship open-source kits, speak at developer conferences, and prototype in code with Claude Code.

The Third User Kit

Design systems now have a third user: the AI agent that reads your docs to build UI. This free kit helps your docs work for all three.

Start with the two-minute test. See what an agent gets wrong about your best component, then fix it with the templates.

Oversight Before Precedent: Designing Agent Governance from Zero

Day of Shecurity 2026 · Thu, Nov 12, 2026, 12:30 to 12:55 pm PT · Virtual talk, 25 minutes

How I designed agent governance from zero at Endor Labs. Security teams get one view of the AI agents, MCP servers and skills on developer machines, a single score that makes risk easy to read, and real-time policy that blocks, alerts or asks a person first, without slowing developers down.
