About Me

I design print, identity and digital products to bolster mission-driven brands.

A self-starter and natural leader, I have more than a decade of experience managing and collaborating with creative teams. Freelancing since 2011, I've produced smart design solutions to catalyze good causes. Before that, I served our nation's parks as the sole designer at a marketing and publishing company. In my time there, I redesigned annual park guides, and hired a team of freelance designers to layout hundreds of pages based on my templates.

I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Graphic Arts from the Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University. For three out of my four years there, I worked nights designing The Daily Orange, an award-winning independent, student-run newspaper. I spent my summers interning for magazines.

I'm an expert in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, well-versed in Wordpress content management, and have a working knowledge of HTML. When I'm not at my computer, I'm soaking up as much nature, yoga, music, art, family, friends and good food as possible.

I am available for hire on a freelance project basis. Please contact me to set up a time to discuss your next project.

Looking forward,

Leyla
