For four years, Lee helped to create numerous theme parks and attractions.

In 2002, he was invited as a guest designer on HGTV’s Designing for the Sexes and was the “chosen” designer on two episodes of Designers Challenge. Lee’s longest career endeavor would soon follow, which encompasses his love of entertaining and design as the Host and Designer of HGTV’s highest rated show.

Lee’s high demand for personal appearances launched his successful “Breaking the Rules” national appearance tour which landed him in the studios of ABC, CBS and NBC morning news shows, the popular Today Show and across the oceans to Good Morning Jamaica.
