Leah is an excellent graphic designer: She brings new and progressive design ideas and solutions to the table, is responsive to client feedback, moves quickly and has the ability to juggle multiple projects simultaneously, and is a delight to work with. Across many years doing work on behalf of the Penn State Smeal College of Business, Leah was largely responsible for developing the visual identity for the college and bringing it to life in countless projects both big and small. She was an invaluable asset for our marketing communications unit.”

I had the pleasure of working with Leah during my time in the Marketing/PR Department at Penn State’s Smeal College of Business. I found Leah’s graphic design work and creative conception to be exemplary. Whether it was asking Leah to modify text or graphics in a document to coming up with a way to showcase a Smeal program—I could always rely on her to bring fresh ideas to the table. I found Leah extremely easy to work with—she always finished projects before deadlines and often pushed to have them done before the deadline to have time for partner review. I would recommend Leah without hesitation; she’s a valuable asset to any team! I would hire her tomorrow for any freelance or full-time position that I had in my office!”
