Suzanne Lee
Founder & CEO of Biofabricate, Pioneer in Biofabrication, Author of "Fashioning the Future"
Suzanne Lee is the founder and CEO of Biofabricate, a platform nurturing collaboration between design and biology to develop sustainable materials for consumer products. This initiative is part of a broader field known as biofabrication, which merges design with biological sciences to create sustainable solutions by essentially allowing design to intersect with the building blocks of life itself. Lee has been integral in shaping this innovative field and is recognized as a pioneer in biofabrication.
For several years, Lee served as the chief creative officer of Modern Meadow, a New York-based biotech startup focused on growing collagen to manufacture animal-free bioleather materials. Her tenure at Modern Meadow was marked by significant advancements in the development of sustainable biofabricated materials.
Lee authored "Fashioning the Future: Tomorrow’s Wardrobe," a seminal text that explores the convergence of fashion, science, and technology. The book remains crucial for designers, scientists, and engineers interested in the future of wearable technology. Besides her writing and leadership roles, Lee has shared her insights at various prestigious platforms, including delivering a talk titled "Fashion futurist: Suzanne Lee" at TEDxFlanders. Fluent in English and French, she is based in New York, USA, continually influencing both the local and international dialogue on sustainable design and biotechnology.
