Eric Lee, Asst. Editor-in-Chief, Design

Going into his third year on the Falconer and first year as AEIC of Design, Eric Lee looks forward to keeping the website as sleek and sophisticated as is fitting of a nationally ranked student news publication. Outside the newsroom, Lee can be found after school in the Performing Arts Center rehearsing alongside his fellow TP Players for the school’s seasonal play. During his free time, Lee also enjoys playing video games and watching anime and cartoons. Some media he enjoys include Overwatch 2, Stardew Valley, Undertale, Deltarune, Omori, most shounen animes, YouTube video essays, and other such topics that one could dub as “chronically online.” He is also enthused by anyone whose music taste is similar to his, so feel free to inquire about any song recommendations. Overall, Lee is excited for his last year on staff to be as productive as ever.
