About

b. 1986, HK.

I’m Leanne, a Creative who specialises in Illustration, Creative Direction and Mural Art. I am South African, living in the North West of England since 2018. I am interested in creating illustrations and designs that start conversations, that address real issues and that communicate ideas in a meaningful and impactful way. I believe that creativity holds the key to unlocking potential, not only in brands and companies, but also as an individual.

I especially look to partner with creative agencies, brands, publications and individuals who use their voice for good - who create change in a meaningful way.

In May 2020 I co-founded The Embrace Project, which aims to “Creatively Combat” Gender Based Violence, particularly in South Africa. By selling Art, we aim to raise funds for grassroots organisations that are fighting GBV in their communities. We also raise awareness around the causes and prevalence of GBV.

Exclusive and non-exclusive licensing of my illustrations is available.

 I currently offer 2 illustration classes on Skillshare. Both these classes take you through my process of digital illustration and include principles you can apply in any medium. I aim to give you the tools and confidence to explore your illustration style and build up your portfolio in a way that best represents you as an Artist.

Click on either class below to get a free month of Skillshare, to enrol in as many classes as you like! I can’t wait to see what you create.
