Hi, I'm Leigh!
I'm a visual designer who loves crafting distinctive brand identities and creating compelling assets for creative and innovative businesses especially.
I'm passionate about weaving authentic brand stories that truly resonate with and captivate target audiences. I also love to bring a touch of illustration and a little bit of magic to my projects whenever the chance comes up.
Let's work together! @leighcryan
I'm also a...
Tour Guide
My days as a tour guide at Syracuse University and The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum may be long behind me, but I still love history and showing people around.
In 2018, I created a sold-out AirBnB Experience Tour covering the typography and signage in Boston's North End neighborhood. We covered everything from hand-painted lettering to illuminated signs! It was a fun way to promote the design studio I worked for.
Then in 2019, I organized a networking/
inspiration trip to London for students in my design program for a week of studio tours and workshops with amazing UK creatives. It was a blast!
& Painter
Outside of design, painting has always been a big passion of mine.
In 2023, a streaming giant purchased one of my seascapes for the set of a new series filming in Massachusetts. I can't wait to see if the piece made the literal cut in 2024! (Even if it doesn't, I still framed the contract...)
& Career Changer
After graduating, I worked in marketing roles for art museums and non-profits before spending a few years doing email marketing for tech companies.
I always wanted a creative role, and after working with talented designers in other capacities, I knew visual design was what I wanted to do instead. So back to school I went, and I've been a working designer ever since.
