Shawn Will Lee

I tell stories, and I use pictures, both still and moving to tell them. I was born and raised on the West Coast and that bleeds through everything I do. My success is in creating a work/life balance and finding the joy in each day.

North Vancouver is my City, the West Coast is my home. I love coffee, movies, family & friends (I'll let you guess the order)

"That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains." - Steve Jobs, 
