About Me
With over 14 years of experience, I’ve built a career at the intersection of luxury heritage and high-growth tech. My work is defined by a "360-degree" approach—bridging the gap between meticulous physical environments and data-driven digital ecosystems.
Most recently, as a lead in the Creative Studio at Sotheby’s, I’ve had the privilege of executing the visual identity for landmark auctions totaling over $35M, including the Lichtenstein Collection and the Tom Brady Sale. Whether I’m engineering technical gallery graphics or directing a 365-day digital marketing calendar, my goal is always the same: to translate complex brand stories into elevated, high-performance visual experiences.
When I’m not obsessed with typography or white-glove production, I’m at home on Long Island with my husband and two kids. I find that the balance of a busy family life keeps my perspective fresh and my creative energy fueled.

What Clients Have To Say
"Leanna was incredibly helpful and a pleasure to work with on my project. I needed help redesigning my brand deck, and Leanna was able to make my products and vision come to life. Her professionalism, design skills, and responsiveness were amazing, and it made working with her a real pleasure. We had a healthy amount of revision rounds due to little tweaks I wanted, and she was always happy to make them. Exceeded my expectations for sure, and she is the first person I’ll call when I need more design help. Thanks Leanna!

Founder of The Great Fantastic
As a freelance marketer, Leanna and I have collaborated on direct mail, wedding invitations and personal prints, corporate print materials, web design, and online advertisements. Leanna is my go-to designer because she is incredibly creative and talented, but also reliable, professional, and prompt. She has a range of skills that have helped my business grow, and my clients are always impressed with her designs. Whether I already have a design in mind or need her to create something completely new, I know the end result will be stunning.

Freelance Marketer
As a graphic artist, Leanna has the rare ability to balance visual beauty with business functionality. I know that when she designs something for me she will look at the big picture and create something that not only looks good, but serves a marketing purpose. I also find that her ability to meet deadlines and work within a specific time-frame far surpasses her peers. As someone who works with multiple graphic designers, Leanna is always my go-to when I need something created quickly with little edits. I trust her vision and she has taken the time to understand my goals and design needs.

Working with Leanna was fantastic! Having worked with multiple vendors for other arrangements, Amanda and I were expecting this to be another stressful project. However, we were able to give Leanna just a vague idea of what we wanted and she ran with it, supplying us with multiple proofs, all of which were to our liking, in a very timely manner. Although we were a bit fussy with details, Leanna took our requests in stride and made amendments as requested, along with putting forth suggestions of her own. I have already recommended Leanna to other friends who are recently engaged. She is perfect for couples who want to be very involved, as well as couples who want Leanna to do the creative thinking herself.
The only thing better than her work is her bubbly personality!

Wedding Stationery Client
Leanna was an absolute delight to work with. Not only is she professional, creative and prompt, she really has a true passion in working with her clients and making their vision come to life. I worked with Leanna on my wedding invites. She made them absolutely perfect, exactly what I was looking for. We got everything done in under two weeks. The detail in her creation is what impressed me most. Every idea and thought I had, Leanna made it that much better when sending me my final product. Her attention to detail and recommendations from everything to accommodation cards to envelopes was on point! I would highly recommend working with her for any event. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my other life events. Thank you so much Leanna!

Leanna is very talented and it was a pleasure working with her for our wedding invitations! I was recommended to use her by a friend and I am so glad I did. She provided us with multiple options to fit the style of the wedding. She totally understood the vibe we were going for and made our ideas look that much better! She is super creative and has great taste, which made our invites and envelopes look amazing. She was extremely patient while I dealt with normal wedding mishaps and she always responded quickly with enthusiasm. Our invitations came out gorgeous, people are still talking about them! I will definitely be coming back to Leanna for other design pieces and invites. I would highly suggest working with her! Thanks again Leanna!!
