Russell Lee loves the visual medium as a means of simplifying complexity for others to facilitate cross-team conversations leading to lasting change.


I enjoy analysing and understanding how to navigate our current world full of complexities.

I believe that when humans bring the nuance of their lived experiences to co-design solutions together, strategies naturally become sustainable in their shared goals and outcomes across teams. 

As a result, I enjoy facilitating activities designed to shape co-designed strategies and initiatives, helping others see complexity through digestible and compelling visual artefacts.

Featured Projects

Strategising for an enterprise-wide goal across UNSW
Consultation to develop a 10-year strategy plan / TwoCollaborate

As co-facilitator alongside the lead director, I helped coordinate and deliver workshops using design-led activities to support UNSW’s enterprise-wide goal of strengthening student employability outcomes.

I was involved across the end-to-end process, including preparing workshop artefacts, supporting facilitation activities, and producing post-workshop reports and outputs.

Mapping processes from scratch
Defining end-to-end processes for a growing organisation with a service map / TwoCollaborate

I led in designing and developing an end-to-end service map through a series of facilitated workshops. The workshops employed highly interactive visual activities aimed at collecting preliminary data to build a prototype. 

The outcome was a Street Side Medic’s service map which defined future state organisational processes, roles and services.

Evolving from a legacy practice with artificial intelligence
Shipping solutions with artificial intelligence agents / Independent project

Splattr was conceived through discovering an opportunity to modernise legacy practices within an industry. The platform aids educators in creating personalised visual resources for specific clients’ needs.

I utilised artificial intelligence tools such as Claude and Gemini to prototype and build this product to go to market by mid-2026.

Simplifying complexity through the power of visualisation
An exhibit of a range of visual work I’ve delivered as part of design-led methods to capture data and user input / TwoCollaborate

I believe in the power of visuals in breaking down complexity. At TwoCollaborate, I delivered several illustrated visual scribes capturing the conversations at facilitated workshops.

These visual frameworks were printed and displayed by clients within their offices as artefacts that reinforce shared goals, priorities, and organisational alignment.

Leveraging technology to improve user navigation around Sydney’s buses
How can we help users navigate the chaos of Sydney’s bus routes? / Independent project

In this personal project, I conducted a series of user testing sessions to validate my hypothesis that navigating Sydney’s bus network without a phone is unnecessarily difficult for many users.

I developed an alternate solution augmenting Sydney’s new eSign technology to provide a more self-sufficient and intuitive way for users to navigate bus routes without relying on external devices or assistance.
