Learn more about me.

Hello. My name is Allan Lee. I am a freelance designer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. For half a decade I've been working as a free agent; I like to freelance because it allows me to practice new skills and hone old ones while I work on a lot of different exciting projects. I enjoy working on projects in print, interactive media and any other challenges that may come my way.

I'm my spare time, I'm a ninja. OK, maybe more like a Kung fu master. My many years of freelancing have allowed me to pursue my martial arts and power lifting training. Don't worry, I'm little and cute. Not scary at all.
