Lee Seul Bi holds a BFA in Interior Design from Parsons School of Design in New York. After returning to South Korea, she built a career in the film industry as a set designer and decorator, working on numerous feature films over the past ten years. Through her work in production design, she came to see how objects and spaces reflect who a character is—a sensibility that gradually drew her interest toward the characters themselves. She now writes and directs her own work, beginning with her debut film The Mending.
