My name is Lee-Sean and I am a designer and musican based out of New York City.  I do design and strategy at Purpose, and I am a co-founder and producer at Hepnova Multimedia, a genre-defying music collective, multimedia production company, think tank, and modern lifestyle brand. I will be teaching in the MFA Design for Social Innovation program at SVA starting Fall 2012.  I’m also dean of the Awesome Foundation NYC.

I was born in Taiwan and raised in Arizona. I graduated with a BA in Government from Harvard University in 2003.  While in college, I studied abroad in Barcelona, Paris and Lund (Sweden).

After college, I lived in Nakatsu City, Oita Prefecture, Japan as an Assistant Language Teacher on the JET Programme from 2003-2006.  I also moonlighted as a book reviewer for japanvisitor.com.  I currently serve as the webmaster for JETAANY.org, (JET Alumni Association of New York).  I am also a contributor to jetwit.com, a site for the JET alumni freelance and professional community.

After moving to New York in 2006, worked at Avaaz.org and Human Rights Watch.  Then I got my masters from the NYU Tisch Interactive Telecommunications Program (class of 2010).
