Designer, systems thinker,
relentless note-taker.

I'm Kahei Lee, a product designer based in Seattle with a focus on interaction design, design systems, and research-driven product thinking. I care about making software that feels effortless — the kind of experience where everything just works and the interface gets out of your way.

Before design, I studied human-computer interaction and spent time embedded in early-stage product teams, which gave me a deep respect for both the craft of design and the constraints of building things that have to ship. I'm most energised when I'm working at the intersection of user insight and system-level thinking.

Outside of work, you'll find me sketching UI ideas in Figma for fun (yes, really), hunting for good coffee, and occasionally losing hours to a good design critique thread online.
