Selina Lee was born in Seoul, Korea, and moved to the U.S. with her family when she was a teenager. Growing up, she had an interest in art and studied graphic design. She worked at Korea Central Daily as an advertising designer and worked for Lionbridge Technologies, Inc. as a senior publishing manager. Looking for a way to engage her growing interest in Korean cooking, she launched a series of in-person classes called Banchan Workshop in 2014. That interest developed into a deep passion and she decided to pursue a career in food. Currently, she is working as a menu/recipe developer for local restaurants and food companies. She lives in Oakland, California with her husband and two teenage boys.
