Jillian Lee, owner and founder of UniqueLee Creations, was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
After a career-ending injury steered her away from college, Lee found herself on the path of entrepreneurship in 2018 after she realized there was a market for custom bedazzled items — including phone cases and shoes.
