About

Stuart Harvey Lee is the Founder of Prime Studio, a Product + Brand design consultancy based in NYC. He started his career as a Mechanical Engineer working in a steelworks in Sheffield before discovering his passion for Industrial Design whilst earning his Master's Degree at the Royal College of Art.   He moved to New York in 1991 and cut his teeth working at both Smart Design and Able Design before founding Prime Studio in 1998. At Prime, Stuart is fortunate to work with a wide range of clients from global companies like Unilever and Bayer to disruptor startups like Harry’s and Welly. His work has won numerous awards, and he holds over 100 patents. Most importantly, he relishes designing products which make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.   When he’s not designing, Stuart can either be found challenging himself to ride the hills of the Hudson Valley on his favorite bike or desperately trying to cultivate his vegetable patch.
