Howdy,
My name is Leah Dunlap and I am a freelance visual and brand designer from the small town of Hurricane, West Virginia. My personality is almost as sweet as my tea, but my designs are even sweeter! I am passionate about exploring the relationship between a brand and its audience to create lasting impacts on communities. I love the art of storytelling and every client that I have had has given me the opportunity to tell theirs!
In 2021, I graduated from Jacksonville University (JU) with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing. I currently work at JU as their Graphic Designer, where I get to continue to advance my storytelling skills to communicate our campus vision of empowering students to become active community leaders through transformative educational experiences.
Currently, I am pursuing my Master of Fine Arts at Jacksonville University where I am furthering my study on the relationships between brands and their audiences using visual communication and animation.
