Speaker Halim Lee

Halim Lee is a multidisciplinary graphic designer and educator with expertise in typography, creative coding, and UI/UX. She worked for nine years at Samsung as a mobile UX designer, contributing to advances in the legibility and accessibility of digital typography across a range of devices. She lectured at the Korean Society of Typography on screen typography, addressing considerations of micro-typography in digital environments and spatial typography in VR.

She approaches creative coding and typography as both a pedagogical method and a manifesto-driven tool. Teaching at Boston University, she develops online software and scripts to make typographic learning environments more accessible and supportive. Her work often explores how type and the web can bring people together across borders, a theme she also presented at Inscript.

Her work has been featured in multiple media and international design competitions, including TDC, It’s Nice That, Contemporary Type, Vimeo Picks, Red Dot, and iF.
