DEREK MEI

Hey, I’m Derek.

I’m a NYC-based designer. Currently, I work for Google, where I lead design on Privacy Sandbox and help make the web more private and secure.

Here are some facets of my life that are important to me.

A glimpse into my life...

WORK

LEARN

PLAY

REST

I’m a designer by trade, creative generalist at heart.

The path to discovering my passion for work was never linear, but I’m grateful to be able to work at the intersection of so many fields I love.

Principally, understanding how people interact with world around us, and designing experiences to make them even better is probably the impetus behind what originally drove me to the field of design.

I’m also proud to be the first one in my family to finish college, and also pursue graduate school, although none of this would have been possible without the support of my family.

Thanks for visiting my site – let’s connect!

Right now, I’m looking to connect with people who are passionate about sharing knowledge and pushing each other towards our goals. Over time, I’ve discovered that the best relationships are the ones where a diverse group of individuals are willing to cross-pollinate ideas.

In particular, I’m interested in sharing knowledge and learning together, especially about design, product, accessibility, Muay Thai, and startups.

If you’re a designer looking to break in the field or want to learn about my experiences, please feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
