Kevin Mei

I’m a product designer at Instagram, based in . For the past 8 years I’ve built products that billions of people trust and use every day.

Currently, I focus on some of Instagram’s hardest problems: giving people control over what they see, reducing harmful and misleading content, and helping people spend their time more intentionally. Previously, I led the development of core features across Facebook Marketplace, Groups, and Events.

I believe in rigorously defining the problem to be solved, being open-minded while having strong opinions, and highly polished pixels. I enjoy working with teams that operate with humility and prioritize in-person collaboration.

I originally hail from , and was a in college where I played Division III tennis.
