Summary
Yeon Lee is a director and creative technologist with 13 years of experience bridging engineering and storytelling to build tools, workflows, and productions that scale from studio pipelines to festival premieres. Trained in EECS at UC Berkeley and software engineering at Carnegie Mellon, Yeon has shipped technical systems at Pixar and NASAโcontributing a GPU volume renderer for feature animation and transforming ISS photography into scientific data products. As a filmmaker and producer, Yeon has led cross-functional crews on projects from Sundance-winning Bedford Park to an Oscar-qualifying short, and produced narrative audio and branded video that reached broad audiences. They specialize in guiding traditional studios through AI adoption, applying pragmatic production and budget strategies so creative teams actually use new tools. Equally comfortable writing and directing as they are architecting cloud-based databases and visualization tools, Yeon turns interdisciplinary ideas into measurable impact. A pragmatic storyteller with deep technical chops, they excel at converting buried creative workflows into intuitive products that accelerate production.
