About
I am a full-time graphic designer with eight years of design experience, focusing on editorial layout design, branding and illustration. I am based in Vancouver, BC, but work with clients worldwide. Designing layouts is my specialty and I have a lot of experience in creating clean, fresh, modern designs. I also love to create fun, colourful and quirky designs or illustrations for your business to help you stand out. You can view my illustration portfolio at robynleavens.com
I’m positive, organized, and creative, as well as experienced in project management, bringing projects through to completion on-time, on-budget, and on-brand. I love working with like-minded individuals who are kind, encouraging and organized. I look forward to hearing from you.
If you have an enquiry about a possible project you’d like help with, please do get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!
