Una Lee is a Toronto-based designer helping visualize the results of the Hack Day. She reimagines and redesigns systems to be more humane and sustainable. Using graphics, games, skill-sharing and media-based organizing, Una's work exposes injustice, explores solutions, and connects people in transformative creative experiences. Her graphic design work has been recognized by competitions such as the Advertising and Design Club of Canada and Applied Arts Magazine, and she has been profiled by the Design Exchange and in the upcoming Design Activist's Handbook.

Una is an organizer of Imagining Better Futures Through Play, the game & simulation design track at the Allied Media Conference and the recently established Radical Games Group in Toronto. She was a coordinator of the Difference Engine Initiative, a game jam for first time women designers. Una's most recent game, Unicorn Justice Fighter/Unicorn Robber Baron, which examines cooperation vs. competition in an environment with rapidly dwindling resources, has been exhibited widely and was featured on CBC’s The National in a segment called “Female Video Game-Changers.” Una is a member of the CSI Design Common, a collaborative studio for social innovation. When not working, Una can often be found next to a large pile of partially read books, next to a smaller pile of partially awake cats.
