Hazel Lee first completed a Higher Diploma in Design (Interior Architecture) from Caritas Bianchi College of Careers and continued her Bachelor Degree in Environment and Interior Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, which she later graduated with first-class honors. During university, Hazel began research into a host of different materials. By coincidence, she observed that the color of copper changes from day to day, and she fell in love with it. Through a combination of self-learning and courses, she acquired the basic metalworking techniques to integrate copper design into everyday objects better.
