Ayumi Lee
Product Designer at AWS
How did you get started in your role?
My creative journey began at a kitchen table, learning to draw under the guidance of my grandfather, an art teacher. Those early lessons sparked a lifelong passion for visual storytelling, eventually leading me to earn a degree in Graphic Design from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Seeking the energy of a major creative hub, I moved to Chicago after graduation to join the startup world, where I launched my career as the founding designer for a high-growth digital agency.
