Jun Yong Lee is an accomplished art director and graphic designer whose career spans Seoul and Toronto. A graduate of George Brown College, he began his professional journey at Hexa Communications, a firm renowned for its dedication to high-quality branding and design. This early experience laid the foundation for his understanding of the power of design to communicate and shape perceptions.

In 2001, Jun joined Humanist Publications, where he honed his skills in graphic and book design, working on a diverse range of projects that blended artistry with functionality. His work during this time was marked by a deep commitment to craftsmanship and an exploration of the creative potential within design.

In 2005, he founded Studio Bemine, a design studio focused on visual identities, editorial design, and typography. With Studio Bemine, Jun sought to push the boundaries of design, creating work that was not only aesthetically compelling but also intellectually engaging. His approach is rooted in the belief that design is a bridge between ideas and understanding, aiming to distill complex concepts into forms that are both accessible and meaningful.

Recently, Jun launched Publiance, a design studio with locations in Seoul and Toronto. Specializing in editorial design, web solutions, corporate branding, and art direction, Publiance reflects his ongoing pursuit of simplicity and clarity in design. Jun’s work is driven by a passion for creating designs that elevate and communicate ideas with depth and impact—transforming the abstract into something tangible, beautiful, and comprehensible.
