          My studio name Allele.Design draws from the biological term “allele” — a variant form of a gene, reflecting my interest in variation + adaptation + hidden layers within everyday objects.
 It also echoes to my name ‘Ally Lee’, positioning my work as a personal yet evolving expression of design that responds and challenges every norms, to reshape familiar forms into tools for public reflection.

Ally is a designer whose work navigates the intersection of material experimentation, environmental critique and public interaction. Her practice reflects a commitment to process-led design and sustainable questioning, often transforms overlooked materials into communicative objects that make the invisible visible.


Her work reframes domestic forms and everyday artefacts as platforms for environmental awareness, with approaches that balance intuitive making with strategic intention, revealing how subtle design gestures can provoke public reflection and shift perception.


Through making installations, prototypes and disruptive products, Ally explores how material choices and contextual placements can engage audiences more deeply than data ever could. Her work sits confidently between experimentation and application: critical and futuristic.

Final Major Project

University of the Arts London
2025

Perspex Mirror
Clear Styrene Panel
Mild Steel

A product based installation that reveals the presence of particulate matter, microscopic pollutants suspended in urban air that are inhaled but rarely seen. The project visualises this hidden dust through a laser engraved mirror and a set of dust collecting panels installed across London. 



Reframing familiar domestic objects as environmental tools, the installation records pollution physically through build up, residue, and reflection. Materials such as mirrored Perspex, coated styrene, and reclaimed steel create interactive surfaces that shift visibly over time. By making pollution tactile rather than statistical, the work invites reflection on urban exposure and questions how we see and overlook the air we live in.
