About Me

"There’s nothing sadder than wondering if you could have done what you loved to do." -Bette Davis

I don't wonder. I know I'm doing what I love to do. I’m Leila (like the Eric Clapton song “Layla”). Design and art direction are my passion which allows me to walk into work each day to a job I love doing. 

I am a driven and versatile designer with 8+ years of professional experience. I work for innovative and meaningful brands that I’ve always been proud to represent and work with. I thrive in deadline driven environments with high-functioning marketing teams because slow, steady and easy—is boring. 

I combine sound strategy and thoughtful visuals to get impactful results across all mediums. I can't do what I do without the people I work and collaborate with. Design is nothing without a team and people who want to raise the bar in everything they do. And that’s what I want to do when it comes to design.
