Creative director.
Strategic communicator.
Cultivator of change.
Hi, I'm LeAnn.
I’m a communications strategist and creative director with over two decades of experience leading award-winning campaigns across nonprofit, public, and higher education sectors. My work is rooted in clarity, beauty, and the belief that creativity can cultivate change.My life and work are guided by what’s growing—plants, communities, movements, and meaning. I believe that the act of cultivating, whether it’s a native garden or a bold idea, is inherently hopeful. And that hope is where transformation begins.
growing people and plants.
My work grows from the intersection of storytelling, design, and care—for people, community, and planet.
I bring together strategic thinking and creative craft to help people and programs grow their impact. My work often includes:
• Communication strategy and message development
• Brand identity and visual systems
• Campaign and initiative design (print + digital)
• Stakeholder and audience engagement
• Social media and digital storytelling
• Workshop facilitation and public speaking
• Creative direction for cause-based projects
• Translating complex ideas into clear, human language
Let's work together

I'm based in Portland, Oregon—always with one foot in the studio and the other in the garden.
