Matthew Lee combines his interior design talents with a background in city and regional planning to help create buildings that support and enrich student life. He is passionate about shaping spaces that are the backdrop to the transfer and sharing of knowledge and ideas, particularly housing and dining projects. Among his past work is a moving LED light wall for a dining hall on an urban corner that keeps it active and exciting at all hours of the day and night. Matthew is particularly adept at assessing clients' needs and clearly communicating innovative design concepts that express them.

"The best designers are ones who check their egos at the door and listen to the client. Only then can they help the client achieve their vision."
