My name is Diane Lee, I am currently with the wonderful team at Hornet as a Jr. Motion Designer. I love epic things and cute things but I always want my work to be stirring and resounding. As a homebody, I don’t often see too many extraordinary things but I like to make the ordinary things in my life maybe not extraordinary but so-so-ordinary. The neglected sewing needle in my drawer becomes the dignity of my mini warrior, or my tiny dog becomes the destructive menace to the bunnies in my yard.
I love writing and exchanging emails so please feel free to contact me!
