Diana J. Lee

My name is Diana Lee, born and raised in Seattle.  I am the youngest daughter in my family and most of my childhood was spent sitting around in my family’s restaurant in Chinatown where I doodled on pads of papers.  I played with my brother’s army men, monsters and video games.  I thought the coolest person in the world was my dad (still do) and I wanted to grow up to be as cool as him, which explains why I’m tough and masculine now.

My love of art and video games is what led me to the game industry, which I first started when I was 21.  With my first paycheck, I bought my first DSLR and became a self taught photographer — mostly shooting fashion shows and models.

I enjoy embarrassing myself to make my friends laugh.  People usually tell me that I’m weird.  I am not weird… everyone else is just boring.  One of my favorite animals are cows because they are delicious.  Mangoes are my best friends.  I like chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate chips.  Li hing sour candies are like crack to me.  I LOVE NOODLES!!!!  And I really like dinosaurs.  I stay awake with pure will power because caffeine makes me fall asleep. ..and I am not short — I’m fun sized!
