FREELANCE, CONTRACT & OVERLFLOW GRAPHIC DESIGN

for BUSY MARKETERS and BUSINESS OWNERS

Hello! I’m Lesley. I help busy marketers and business owners manage the overflow of design work. I love creating consistent and on-brand collateral that tells your story and gets sales. 

If your in-house marketing documents are making you lose sleep, or your agency just can’t turn things around fast enough, I’m here to help.

It’s easy to work with me – I take time to get to know you and your brand. My experience means you can trust me to work efficiently, so you can get back to doing what you do best.

Let’s talk about what I can take off your hands to make a consistent and confident impression on your customers and colleagues.
