About me
Hi! I’m Leslie, a Brand Marketer and Editorial & Visual Designer with over six years of international experience working with companies and clients across Germany, the United States, Spain, and the Netherlands.
I specialize in editorial design, paid ad visuals, marketing collateral, and brand consistency. I enjoy working with international teams and I have experience guiding junior talent and interns to deliver strategic, high-quality creative materials.
My background in Product Design and Architecture & Interior Design has shaped my aesthetic sense and user-centered approach. As a freelancer, I’ve worked on editorial projects for global clients, including the Digital Economy Report for the United Nations, and created brand collateral for British and American companies. I enjoy combining design, strategy, and storytelling to produce meaningful visual communications that stick to consumers minds.
