Kelley Nguyen

Leading product design @ Legitimate

7+ years of experience at early-stage startups across a diverse set of industries. I’m passionate about products that are advanced and simple – allowing users to accomplish more with less. I love workflows, diagrams, and am a huge proponent of "done is the enemy of good".

Selected work ↓

Legitimate

legitimate.tech

Defining NFC applications in supply chain and consumer package goods to service brand and marketing teams. We’re designing multi-device and platform flows across people, props, and processes.

Air

air.inc

Digital asset management for the next generation of creatives

PAIge Program

I designed, tested, and validated AI features alongside select partners in a beta program. Our team took an iterative approach, working towards our vision of Air becoming the only system of record creatives use.

Libraries

I designed a permissions framework that gave teams granular access control over spaces within the workspace. This new primitive allowed teams to maintain workspace organization and structure as creative assets move from ideation to delivery.

Sharing and collaboration

I redesigned and extended notifications to track external activity on shared links, helping creatives stay informed when clients view, download, or comment on their work. This lowered the barrier to entry for new users, allowing them to comment and interact with assets shared on Air.

Plan usage

I designed a new plans page that gave clear visibility into members, guests, and storage usage, as well as invoices that reflected how their bills change when adding or removing members. This drastically reduced the questions customer support received about their monthly subscription.

About

Currently a NY resident by way of Los Angeles and San Diego. In my spare time, I enjoy hitting my daily 10,000 steps, curating my channels on are.na, and listening to new music releases every week. I do my best to spend just as much time on the yoga mat as I do in Figma.
