    Lee Worthington
    Managing Director MENA, Dubai
    With invaluable experience across six continents and our expertise with regards to technical advancements, trend shifts and contemporary design methodology, we are able to provide innovative design solutions which embrace future vision and inspire user creativity within the spaces themselves, thus initiating a conformable ambiance and an extremely rewarding business model

    Lee Joined JPA Design, London in 2002 and following the design and project management of the La Residence Hotel Project for Orient Express Hotels in Cambodia in 2009, he relocated to Dubai to take advantage of the exciting development opportunities in this fast-paced emirate and expand his creative experience.

    During his time in UAE, Lee has managed interior design teams for a couple of the leading UAE design consultancies and set up his own practice focusing on concept design and developing the traditional design process by way of creating adaptable spatial experiences which generate a successful business model and inspire user creativity in the end user.

    Following the completion of several hotel projects for Anantara, Hilton and IHG plus numerous high end commercial spaces and residential projects, including the ‘Most Expensive Penthouse in the World’ located at One Hyde Park, Lee returned to JPA Design in 2017 as Design Director, Dubai to help build its presence in the Middle East and expand the global brand.
