Lee David Fletcher is an Industrial designer; founding partner at Fig40, and principal at Fletcher Scott Studio. He was educated in Canada and the UK achieving an MA in Industrial Design from Manchester Metropolitan University.
His work centres on authenticity and empathy in the design of manufactured objects. This is done through exploring the broader context the object is to be made and used in and bringing to it a beauty seen through the lens of people and the planet.
Experience in manufacturing and consulting enables him to take the lead in reconciling the goals for a project and the complex, sometimes conflicting needs of clients, users and the community.
His work has won many international design awards and he has sat on various jury’s for design competitions. He is a professional member of the Association of Industrial Designers of Ontario and teaches Industrial Design at Sheridan College.
