Lee Turner is an MFA candidate in Graphic Design at East Carolina University. Prior to her current endeavors at ECU, Lee studied art therapy at Eastern Virginia Medical School and subsequently founded an arts-based educational nonprofit that operated out of Harrisonburg, VA. She is a super nerd who loves learning. One of Lee’s core beliefs is in the power of art and design to effect change, and she is interested in exploring the intersection of graphic design, environmental conservation, and climate justice. She is exploring the impact design can have in encouraging responsible consumer behavior, challenging the corporate status quo, and advocating for policy change. The privilege of higher education humbles her, and she is immensely grateful to be able to (hopefully) carve out her place as a difference-maker.
