Design is hard, right?

It takes time, patience, audience insight and a whole lot of skill to get good results, and paying for a full-time designer might not be something you can budget for. That’s where I come in.

I’m your partner in design, coming in whenever you need me to pick up those projects you just don’t have room for.

Whether you’ve been taking on all the design yourself or you’re busy running your business, design is my business. Let me take a load off your plate and leave you to do what you do best.

Creativity with friends

Maybe you just need my creative input. Or we may need the some of my friends to get involved. And by friends, I mean very experienced web developers, photographers, copywriters or more. We’ll work together, combining our talents to create something spectacular, with me being your contact throughout.

A bespoke approach

By having a collaborative approach we can scale up or down. You’ll get the benefit of our experience on the work you need rather than work to keep all the agency busy.

Image has two speech bubbles. One says "Let's have an offline conversation" and the other says "Um, how about a chat?"

A jargon-free zone

This is a safe space where we’ll never ‘touch base’ or ‘take it offline’. I like to keep things simple and explain everything clearly so we all know where we stand and what is happening.

Kind words from happy clients

Leanne is exceptionally good at asking the right questions and translating abstract ideas into a highly polished, eye catching final product which completely nails your brief.”

Rebecca Mills, Director of Marketing and Communications, Sheffield High School for Girls
“Leanne’s got lots of good ideas and manages to turn something I’ve thought about into something that works from a design perspective. She will say if she doesn’t think something is going to work which I really value.”

Steven Ojari, Nether Edge Village Project Lead and owner of Bannerdale Osteopaths
“Leanne is creative, diligent and has brought consistency and quality to our marketing materials – increasing our brand awareness. She is incredibly reliable and efficient. I always know deadlines will be kept and work will be turned around quickly.”

Amy Bouchier, (former) Marketing Director, Sheffield High School for Girls
“Leanne has transformed our Festival design, to create a unique and attractive identity. She has designed our website, programmes, posters and leaflets with her signature professionalism, high level of skills, patience and good humour!”

Jean Lucas, Nether Edge Festival
“Leanne is direct, skilled, knowledgeable, and can translate your ideas with sensitivity whilst also educating you on the need. What Leanne did in creating my identity, was strip it back to something perfectly refined and elegant that communicates the required message with timeless clarity... She identifies your requirements, learns about your brand, and delivers a sterling product.”
