I’m Leese, a UK-based Graphic Designer and Illustrator. I specialise in creating print and digital design that will persuasively sell your business to potential customers.
Working with you, I can design brochures, leaflets, signs, adverts, business cards, vehicle livery, logos and more. I can create projects from concepts through to the final piece, driving the brief with input from research and my own ideas. I can also write engaging copy to sell your business and services to your customers.
After several years working in marketing and communications, I graduated from the University of the Arts London with an MA in Graphic Design. I have experience in print design, digital design, brand identity, and art direction. With trusted industry contacts in small- and large-run printing, apparel printing, signage production, vehicle livery, copywriting and photography, I can provide all the services you need under one roof.
I’m based in north Kent, but have worked with clients from London to the US. I’ve designed for a range of client sectors including technology specialists, charity organisations, chambers of commerce and consumer retail. I have recently finished a marketing brochure for London-based hospitality company GS Plus and a leaflet for a hand car wash in Norfolk.
I’m always looking for new projects, and no job is too small.
