www.yankilee.com Dr Lee is a design advocate focusing on social innovation through design and user research methodologies. She graduated with an MA in Architecture from the Royal College of Art before joining the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design (HHCD) in 2000 as a Research Associate. Since 2005, she works as research fellow at the HHCD and focuses on design methodology for participation, social inclusion and social innovation. She was co-investigator of UK’s research council funded i~design 3 project (2006-2010) of developing tools for designers to engage with people and initiated a online platform, www.designingwithpeople.org to build a community of social design practice with a collective design exercise, the Methods Lab. She is founding director of EXHIBIT (www.exhibit-goldenlane.com), a Community Interest Company (C.I.C.) registered in England which sets up as a social enterprise to support community and cultural development through design; and generate revenues to invest in new design ideas with social purposes. To achieve this, EXHIBIT operates in three commercial arms: EXHIBIT Gallery, EXHIBIT Studio; and EXHIBIT Collection to offer design consultancy for socially innovative businesses and ideas. Governed by the C.I.C constitution, EXHIBIT’s reserves will contribute to projects to improve the quality of life for local communities and part of our profits are dedicated as asset-locked reserves to support our Super Estates Foundation (SEF), a non-profit organisation that we set up with a committee to promote the design and heritage of social housing.
