Jess Lee’s Summary

I'm currently the product manager at a fashion/shopping 2.0 startup called Polyvore. Although my title is product manager, I spend most of my time writing code.

Before that, I was a product manager at Google for 4 years.

My background is in Computer Science and I enjoy doing UI/product design. I love drawing.
