Unconventional Triumph with Malti B Lee
Feb 06, 2024 Season 1 Episode 48
Seema Desai & Dinesh Melwani

In this episode, Seema and Dinesh have special guest Malti B Lee PhD. If you don’t think you’re a “creative” individual, this is a conversation you’ll want to hear. Being creative, especially if you’re in any sort of leadership role, is invaluable. They’re talking about different ways we express our creativity, as well as the importance of taking risks. Too often we’re afraid of trying something new because we don’t have past proof that it works…but what if you didn’t need that? What if you weren’t afraid of failing? This is an insightful conversation to help you dare to take risks and embrace your own creativity. 

Malti B Lee PhD (b. London, England, 1990) is a British Indian artist based in Austin, Texas. Drawing on her international background, Malti explores the cities she’s experienced through her acrylic paintings. In the last year, Malti’s works have been presented in solo shows and numerous group exhibits across San Francisco, Northern California and Texas. In 2023, Malti’s works included commissions for the NHL’s San Jose Sharks and the City of San Ramon, CA.

With previous careers as a scientist (Malti has a PhD in Biophysics) then later as a management consultant with Boston Consulting Group, Malti has had the opportunity to live and work internationally. Upon moving to the US in 2022, Malti pivoted to a career as a full-time working artist, creating artwork directly influenced by her experiences working, living and travelling to 50+ countries globally. Today, Malti uses the skills she acquired through her previous careers to serve on the executive committees & boards of non-profit arts organisations.
