ABOUT ESTHER LEe, Editorial Director

It’s rare for a child to know her destiny, yet Esther always knew in her heart that her future had to include compelling storytelling, aesthetics, and answers to her never-ending questions. Her career started with a stint in digital media for local newspapers, followed by a fast pivot to news and entertainment content at Us Weekly. In 2016, Esther Lee made her way to the wedding business. She is now the Editorial Director of The Knot, where she leads and manages the editors across a portfolio of US brands.

Within the last 10 years, she has successfully overseen multiple content initiatives and campaigns at The Knot, including the inaugural iteration of influencer marketing at The Knot and an accompanying kickoff brand trip for the 2018 Royal Wedding. She also managed and oversaw a successful marketing partnership with Warner Brothers for the world premiere of Crazy Rich Asians. She is also responsible for getting The Knot on Bravo in 2024. With rigor and focus, her team has achieved performance milestones across both print and digital content.

Esther Lee’s interests today are much aligned with what she’s embraced since she was a kid: asking questions, reading (a lot), writing, flexing entrepreneurship principles, and pursuing wonder.
