Ellen Lee is a Canadian born designer of Chinese
descent who explores multiple aspects of her identity that she has created from a blank page as a piece of art. She tells us that the Canadian Ellen afforded her the freedom to create an identity of what she wants to be while also being able to maintain the Chinese person (Kit Yee) because it is what people see on the outside.

For Ellen, fortunately, being Canadian as an identity gives her the flexibility and hope to be who she really wants to be.
