Hi, I’m Kadi Lee—
a product designer blending creativity, problem-solving, and technical precision to craft intuitive, human-centered experiences
From Hawaiʻi, now based between Ojai and Los Angeles, California
What I used to do
Before design I spent over a decade in the entertainment industry solving fast-moving, behind-the-scenes problems. I built systems under pressure, adapted on the fly, and made sure every detail held up when it counted. You can read more about that in my Catfish the TV Show case study
What I do now
These days, I bring that same mindset into digital products—balancing creative exploration with technical thinking. I love designing end-to-end experiences that feel intuitive, and I also enjoy getting deep into the details: fixing messy flows, simplifying complex systems, and making sure everything actually works.
“Kadi can dream up bold ideas while keeping the entire system in mind.”— Mat, CEO of NimbleBrain
What I care about
Great design isn’t just about how things look—it’s about how naturally they fit into people’s lives. I’m especially drawn to SaaS tools, AI products, and internal systems—products built with care, clarity, and a strong ethical foundation.
Outside of Design
When I’m not designing, I’m always outside—surfing, biking, hiking, or just slowing down in the sun somewhere peaceful.
