Meet Lee
As an artist and designer, my creative journey is fueled by a relentless passion for modern life, joy, and all things design. I interpret the world around us through layers of vibrant color, geometric shapes and a unique perspective that sparks emotions.
My artwork is a captivating exploration of landscapes, characters, and objects, reimagined through the lens of design-driven abstraction. It's a way of inviting you to see the world anew, where stories unfold, hidden truths are revealed and emotions dance with a touch of festive spirit. I create my art digitally, using modern shapes, playful patterns, and symbolic motifs to evoke curiosity, foster engagement, and leave you feeling delighted.
Drawing from my rich background in art, design and architecture, I create art and designs for:
Murals for Placemaking Projects
Wall Art for Interiors
Mixed-Use Developments
Commercial Real Estate Developments
Retail Environments
Restaurant Experiences
Hospitality Spaces
Corporate Spaces
Character Design
Children's Picture Books
Children's Educational Materials
Toys + Games
Advertising Campaigns
Home Decor Products
Fashion
Art Licensing Markets
Each creation reflects my commitment to infuse surfaces with the transformative power of design and joy. Throughout my career, I've worn many art and design hats: Creative Director, Art Director, Designer, Illustrator and even a brief stint as an Architect. This diverse experience has given me a holistic understanding of concepts, brand narratives, design principles, art direction, spatial dynamics, built environments, product development, and the intricacies of both print and digital mediums. I studied architecture, graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cal Poly Pomona in California. But my curiosity inevitably led me to the world of Art and Design, where I graduated from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
You could say I've always been a bit of a daydreamer. I can still hear my mother snapping her fingers in front of my face and saying, "You're on the moon again."
