Lee is a founding principal of DunnHillam. Alongside Ashley Dunn, she has built the practice from an office of two to where it is now as an established practice with regional, cultural and arts expertise. Lee took some time a few years back to take a kind of secondment to the Government Architect NSW where she chaired the State Design Review Panel, helped write the Design Guide for Heritage and the Design Competitions Guidelines and participated in lots of high level government discussions.  

Lee sits on the Liverpool Design Excellence Panel and is an Adjunct Professor at UTS. She is a Board Director for Southern Cross Housing, a tier 1 community housing provider and a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.  

Lee’s expertise is in the strategic and long-range thinking of masterplans and concept plans. She applies her knowledge of strategic planning and government policy to creative solutions for complex problems. 

Lee writes regularly for Architecture Australia and is a contributor to Parlour: gender, equity, architecture. She met Jonathan Temple when they worked together in a building team for Richard LePlastrier. 

When away from the studio Lee might be found in Illabo where her family are farmers, playing hockey, watching kids’ sports or in the veggie garden.
