Corey Lee

I help mold emerging technologies into usable, understandable products.

I was recently a Partner at Celo, where I hired and led the design team. As the first product designer, I developed research pilots with the World Bank and Grameen Foundation, built the design system, and ultimately launched Valora, a safe place to store and send money for anyone with a phone number. It became a standalone company in 2021 and is currently used for UBI programs, mobile payments, and remittances.

At Adobe, I led product research for Acrobat and PDF, two of the most popular products in the world. I worked with engineers to shape AI/OCR tech into Adobe Liquid Mode, which was named a Best Invention of the Year by TIME. More broadly, I researched next generation documents, which led to Acrobat DC. Before that, I ran a small shop helping companies research, develop, and design their technologies, where I helped create Feedie, Brief, and Location Labs.
