Lee Munroe is a design leader with 13 years of experience scaling product and design teams for developer-focused SaaS, currently serving as VP of Design at OneSignal. He blends hands-on front-end development and email deliverability expertise—open-sourcing responsive email templates and a Grunt-based workflow used to streamline HTML email design and testing. Lee has repeatedly joined early-stage engineering teams as the first design hire, translating developer needs into polished UX, design systems, and measurable product outcomes. His background spans container and infrastructure products at Mesosphere to growth-stage API businesses like Mailgun, where he wore product, design, and engineering hats. Based in the UK but with leadership experience in San Francisco, he’s as comfortable shipping UI code and build pipelines as he is hiring and mentoring cross-functional teams. An unusual strength is his deep practical knowledge of email rendering edge cases and build integrations, a niche that informs better product and developer experiences.
