Sydney Anh Mai is a product designer, creative coder, feline advocate, Kpop aficionado, and 90’s baby based in Brooklyn, New York.

My name is Sydney Anh Mai and I am a product designer. If you don’t work in tech and wonder what that means, let’s just say I design human workflows on the web. My passion for workflow optimization, purposeful interactions, and stellar typography has taken me across industries and products — currently, Kickstarter. I believe that good designers understand the material of their design, be it paper, brick, or code.
