Hi I'm Kelly Seay, a sr. product designer with a passion for distilling complex problems into simple solutions
Over a decade of experience building elegant and thoughtful experiences across responsive web and native mobile
I thrive in opportunities that require distilling complex requirements into easy to use solutions, balancing user, business needs & visual appeal with intention.
Some things I'm great at
Design patterns
I have a deep understanding of design patterns and best practices for both native apps and responsive web.
Systems thinking
I deeply enjoy conceptualizing and building scalable design patterns and components (keeping accessibility in mind).
Product strategy
I consistently strive to strike a perfect balance between customer and business needs.
Design polish
I have spent over a decade learning how to execute beautiful experiences quickly and at scale.
What colleagues have to say about me
Kelly is organized and [does] a good job of keeping Figma files and project documents well groomed and easily accessible. This helps all stakeholders (like PMs and Devs) leverage her work in the product development process.
—Head of Cryto, Wealthsimple
Kelly is a great collaborator, connecting with people early and often to ensure we ship the best possible solutions. She’s great at collaborating with other UX-er’s to ensure that Research & Content is brought in early enough to have a bigger impact. Lastly, she pairs with many other team’s often to ensure she has considered every angle and is doing the best she can for our clients.
—Sr. Director, Product UX, Wealthsimple
Kelly works tirelessly with both the product and engineering teams to ensure they’re set up for success.
She leads UX discussions and meetings with many crypto stakeholders to achieve alignment. Over Slack, she’s tactful to ensure that UX priorities are communicated in a timely manner and is always ready to provide design rationale for product decisions.
—Senior Content Designer, Wealthsimple
Kelly works effectively in uncertain and ambiguous situations. The Crypto Staking project, for which Kelly was the design lead, included many areas of uncertainty. As a result, the project’s requirements changed each time we discovered new information. Kelly quickly adapted the existing designs to incorporate these new requirements, and communicated these updates back to the project team.
