Bio
Chris Fox
Lee is a fantastic designer and expert in print. He was a great supervisor and learned a lot from him while we were working together.
Patricia Mireles
Anyone who is looking for a dedicated, skilled and insightful individual to work with or for, Lee is your guy. Not only is he a talented and knowledgeable marketer, he is a super person as well. I worked with him for over two years and was so impressed by his creativity and foresight. He was able to look at the positive in all situations. We worked on all kinds of projects such as product brochures, cut sheets, flyers, bill inserts, marketing ads, catalogs, promotional aids, and much more. He was instrumental in producing quality materials for the sales force in our elevator company. His managerial skills were excellent, keeping a team of creatives focused on the task at hand to meet the deadlines and creating interesting and appealing collateral. I just can’t thank him enough for all he taught me. I would recommend him for any position, especially in the marketing field. I hope anyone reading this takes the opportunity to meet with him to see his portfolio and get to know this remarkable person.

I had the pleasure of working with Lee for a little over two years in the marketing department at thyssenkrupp Elevator. We worked on different teams, but I had a front-row seat to his incredible work and occasionally had a dependency on some of the sales collateral that his team produced. Lee successfully lead a complete remake of our product and service brochures, produced video and still shoots, and so much more. He's a very talented creative manager, and what a super nice guy. Highly recommend!
