Loe Lee: UX Designer by Day Afrobeat Groover by Night

Spotted at: Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA 
Occupation: Product Manager, Marketo 

Those are great pants! How would you describe your typical style?
I like to be comfortable and stylish. My style is "chic hippie."

You seem like you're in a hurry! Where are you going?
We [Loe and her boyfriend] are headed to Lake Merritt to sit where there aren't so many people and watch the lake—It's a beautiful day!

Cool! What else is going on today?
Nothing much today ... OH! But my band played last night at Yoshi's in Oakland! [What are they called?] Lagos Roots Afrobeat Ensemble!

You seem super music savvy! Are you listening to anything on repeat right now?
I have been listening to Hiatus Kaiyote a lot recently. They're from Australia and they're really good!

So, you are a Product Manager and a UX Designer for Marketo? What do you do?
Basically website design, but Marketo is a company that works with other companies to help them market themselves.

Any big thoughts lately?
I recently went to a conference for work and I noticed that all the money in Silicon Valley stays in Silicon Valley. It isn't helping the world!
