Hi! I’m Mary Lee.

As a Product Design Lead, I thrive at the intersection of deep product thinking and user-centered design. I’m currently building products and scaling design teams for companies all over the world from my home in Raleigh, N.C. ☀️

I’m passionate about empowering people through thoughtful, accessible technology, and I believe that communication, resourcefulness, and inclusion is what makes for a great designer.



ABOUT ME

In 8+ years of design work, I’ve created user-centered designs that reach millions, collaborated with teams all over the globe, and built, resourced, and trained design teams from the ground up. Currently, I’m leading design on client teams at Reaktor NYC, primarily in healthcare and aerospace. My skillset ranges from conceptualizing and strategizing product design to refining every detail; my priority is to consistently champion the user experience, while balancing business objectives with engineering requirements.

Before Reaktor, I led UX & Product Design on dozens of B2B and B2C website, mobile app, and experiential (including touchscreens, and even an escape room!) initiatives at FCB Health New York, several of which were part of award-winning campaigns.

I’m a Virginia Tech alum (go Hokies!) with a B.S. in Industrial (Product) Design, and additional undergrad research experience in Electrical Computer Engineering. I got my first freelance gig in 2013, launched my first app in 2014, and haven’t stopped since 👩🏼‍💻 Outside of work, you’ll find me unsuccessfully trying to keep houseplants alive or planning travel adventures!
