Leah Hennessey

I’m a full-stack designer and lettering artist based in Upstate New York. I strive to create experiences that solve problems and tell stories.

I’m passionate about humanistic visual design, product ownership, and always moving forward. I like being at the crux of product design & development and I’ve had the opportunity to share my graphic & lettering work with companies like Punkpost, Felt, and Big Moods.

I love running, learning (currently Blockchain and pysanky), helping, warm drinks, and my dogs.
