Growing up in a small town in Western Australia, Lee moved to Perth where he graduated university in 2016 with a degree in Commerce. In the background of his career, working in different industries from retail to hospitality and finance, Lee studied the topics that truly fascinated him: philosophy and psychology. As someone who suffered from mental and physical health conditions, the concepts of what it means to be human and how we endure trauma fascinated him, leading to his writing to try and understand not only the world, but himself.
