Method Design announced the recent hire of Creative Director Heebok Lee. Born in Seoul, Korea, Lee joins Method from Prologue Films, and will be based in Method’s Santa Monica location.

Lee has been awarded a number of honorable awards and his work has been presented in a number of design magazines and festivals such as IdN, Stash, SIGGRAPH, OneDotZero, Annecy, and RESFEST. Films Lee has worked on include The Raven, Superman Returns, The Incredible Hulk, The Thing, Ninja Assassin, The Tempest, Spider Man 3, and Speed Racer.
