if you

even care!

hi hi! i’m leah— the who behind the whatnot. i’m a graphic designer by trade and a lifelong creative. for years, i have been the go-to gal for everyone from family, to friends, to friends of friends, to coworkers of neighbors of cousins of friends, for business logos, invitations, websites, custom t-shirts, you name it.

i’ve been told for years that i should start my own official business, but honestly, held myself back for fear of failure, judgment, or whatever silly little anxiety i felt at the time. this year, though, i came to the conclusion that the only way to truly fail is to not try at all, so i’m turning the what-if’s into whatnot and really taking the leap.

whether you’re a small business trying to figure it all out, or a newly engaged bride-to-be lost in the planning process, i’m here to take the creative load off your plate, and help bring your moodboard to life.

i’m so excited for this journey, and so grateful that you’re all here to be a part of it.
