Hello there! 👋(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)

I'm Leona, a NYC-based multidisciplinary designer with 9+ years of experience in graphic design and motion. I’ve created work across on-air, streaming, social, digital, and OOH platforms, with most of my career centered in the entertainment industry. Besides design, I have a strong background in photography and photo retouching. These days, I’m freelancing and balancing screen time with my latest creative obsession: punch needling.

During my free time, I enjoy traveling the world for good eats, spending way too long on nail art sets, or learning my way around 3D 🌟
