Making complex
decisions clearer.

Portrait of Jin Lee

I'm a product designer based in New York. I've worked on consumer services and B2B platforms for financial professionals. Across these projects, I've become interested in how people understand information and make decisions.

Working in finance raised a question I keep coming back to: How much should AI be involved when decisions carry real risks? I've also explored AR and VR through projects like DEV and Parallax, looking at how people interact with information beyond traditional screens.

I'm interested in understanding when AI should assist or step back, and how different interfaces can help people stay informed and in control of their decisions.
