Lee Moreau is a service and experience designer and is Professor of the Practice of Design in the Department of Art + Design, as well as the founder and director of Other Tomorrows – a design and strategy studio.

Prior to forming Other Tomorrows and rejoining Northeastern’s faculty, he was the VP, Design at Continuum, Director of Environments at 2×4, and worked as a designer at IDEO and at the Rockwell Group.
