CREATIVE DIRECTOR

I'm Lena Lee, a Creative Director based in Seattle, specializing in motion and AI.

With over 15 years across brand, motion, and emerging technology, I direct brand films and campaigns with a focus on clear storytelling, strong visual structure, and thoughtful creative judgment, leading teams and creative from concept to delivery.

Outside of client work, I make films. My AI short CTRL+Z My Life screened at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, where I joined a live Q&A at Fantastic Cube. It has screened at additional festivals internationally and won Gold for Best Experimental Film and Audience Choice at the Bali International Film Festival.

I care about the work. And I care about the people making it.
