Deb JJ Lee (they/them) is an award-winning illustrator based in Brooklyn, New York. They are known for their bold and meticulous illustrations with their most recent recognition as one of Adweek’s Creative 100 in 2025. A maximalist first and human second, Deb has a penchant for making sense of clutter, detail, and body language into lush unique compositions, patterns, and bold color palettes to communicate the right emotion to the viewer. While they particularly enjoy working with emotional storytelling involving AAPI topics, Deb is adamant about having an evergreen breadth of projects that expands beyond Asian America that allows them to make a meticulous illustration each better than the last.
