My name is Pei Lee: as in “Pay Me” in case you weren’t sure about how to pronounce it. I’m from Taiwan and I picked up to move to Los Angeles 25 years ago. My website is 54peilee.com with good reason. Ready for a Chinese lesson? Phonetically, the numbers “5 and “4” and  “I am” sound identical in my native tongue. I took the clever route instead of “iampei.com” so you don’t confuse me with I.M. Pei – the famous architect who designed the pyramid at the Louvre. 

But I aim to be just as renowned: I am an art director

Yes, I’m new to the game, but also motivated beyond belief because I finally found my passion. Previously, I was a fashion stylist, but I realized the only person I really love to dress is me. And I’ve also been a nail artist for many years, but the canvas is simply too small for my plans.

I know that art direction is where I will truly thrive so I can unleash all my big and creative ideas for brands with an edge and a sense of humor. If you want to know more - or if you need a sick outfit to make an ex jealous or tips for a flattering nail shape - just give me a call. I’m working hard out here for my two cats who will judge me if I don’t and I’ve got to make them proud.
