About Matthew Lee

I design student-life environments that promote wellness, belonging, and academic success. My work focuses on housing, dining, and campus-life projects for colleges and universities across the country, where I bring together design thinking and research insight to create spaces that genuinely support how students live and learn.I lead interdisciplinary teams, build strong partnerships with university and consultant collaborators, and help translate institutional priorities into places that feel connected to campus identity and culture. I’m especially interested in how design can foster community, encourage engagement, and remove barriers to student thriving.If you care about the future of student experience, purposeful campus design, or the evolution of higher education environments, I’d love to connect.

   As a designer I combine my talents for interior design with a background in city and regional planning to help create buildings that support and enrich student life. I am passionate about shaping spaces that are the backdrop to the transfer and sharing of knowledge and ideas, particularly housing, dining and academic projects. I believe an empathic approach to design leads to the most rewarding outcomes.
