about

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Bryana Lee.

Born in Irvine and raised in Seoul, I come from a family of designers. I learned early on how art and design could inspire meaningful connections in people’s lives.

Today, as a Product Designer, I live at the intersection of physical and digital experiences, exploring how technology can turn ideas into reality. I put myself in others’ shoes, understanding pain points and frustrations in order to solve problems and imagine a new way forward. From ideation to experimentation, building and coding, I create products and systems that seamlessly connect with each other and the users.

Through design, I want to craft new experiences and opportunities that connect, support, and inspire.
