Eric Joseph Lee

I'm a product designer in Vancouver. I design products, I build working prototypes and integrations myself, and I teach.

I spent two years at Central 1 on a banking platform used by 300+ credit unions across Canada, and led design on a three-sided volunteer platform before that. Now I'm a Creative Technologist at ProtoPie, building AI-driven prototypes for enterprise clients and teaching their teams to use ProtoPie's AI tools. In September 2026 I led a session at Volkswagen Group headquarters introducing those tools to 30+ designers from across the group's brands.

Teaching keeps me honest. I've taught UX to 300+ students, and if I can't explain a design decision to someone new, it probably isn't a good one.

As a kid I built Lego by stacking one piece on top of whatever already existed, no instructions, until I had something that surprised even me. That's still how I work.
