ENOUGH ABOUT ME...
|
In my spare time I create large abstract paintings, organize my junk drawers, do summer gardening, hike around Vermont, get giddy over thunderstorms, watch anything Star Wars, and tease my 8 year-old son whenever I can. My favorite toy is my Dymo labeler!
|
My design heroes are Paul Rand, Jamie Reid, Steve Jobs, John Heartfield, and the Italian Futurists.
I dislike ticks, litter, coconut, typos, and bad design. |
IN PRAISE

In addition to graphic design and art direction, Lesley also has the ability to create exceptional infographics which communicate information seamlessly.” ,“It’s a pleasure to work with Lesley. She is smart, quick and an incredibly talented designer. I have personally worked on projects with Lesley for more than 15 years and I can attest to her professionalism, her drive, and her talent.” |
“The beauty of working with a truly creative person is when, after describing even just hazy ideas of what you want in your design, she produces images that resonate. The color, the coherent look - an enduring image to build on.” “Lesley’s personality, organizational skills and acute attention to detail made her ideal for this position. Lesley has outstanding design and concepting skills, she has a keen instinct to accurately understand the client’s needs and objectives, and clearly translate those objectives into inspired, cutting edge creative solutions and on-target messaging. |
