Community Leader introduction
Hello Everyone,
As a fellow member of this community, I thought it would be great to introduce myself and share a little about my journey and career so far.
My name is Lee Hall, and I’m a Graphic Designer based in the UK. I’ve been working in the creative industry for over two decades, starting out as a self-taught designer in the 1990s. Back then, I was designing club flyers and working with small independent record labels in the music industry.
Later, I joined Madison, the UK’s leading distributor of cycle parts and accessories. Here, I worked with multiple brands, including Shimano, Garmin, Continental Tyres, Kärcher, Thule, and Lazer Helmets. Madison had a fast-paced, agency-style marketing environment, which really ignited my passion for cycling. I enjoyed tackling challenging projects and navigating complex brand guidelines—creating everything from print and digital materials to trade show displays, tailored to each brand’s marketing needs.
Following this, I moved to Trek Bicycles, one of the world’s leading bicycle manufacturers. Here, I expanded my expertise to the Trek brand and its umbrella of brands, including Bontrager, Diamant Bikes, Electra Bikes, and external brands such as SRAM. At Trek I was working in the in-house marketing department. I got to travel all over the UK and Europe visiting our retail stores and help set up events for the business. Trek is by far the best company I’ve worked for, and continue to going into 2026.
Alongside my full-time work, I also take on freelance design projects whenever time allows. My day-to-day toolkit includes Apple Mac, Adobe Suite, Figma, Trello, and Microsoft Office, and I’m always exploring new courses to keep learning and growing as a designer.

Outside of work:
My family always comes first. I spend most of my time with my partner and our son, along with our four cats; we have a busy household. We have a big garden where we grow fruit, vegetables, and herbs. I also make music, love hiking, mountain biking, gravel riding, travelling, cooking, listening to podcasts, collecting illustration prints, and photography.
I like to keep an open-door approach, so if you ever want to chat, need advice, or just want to bounce ideas around, feel free to reach out—we can connect via Teams or Zoom.
Looking forward to connecting with you all!
