“AI is but the brush of the artist.”

Art Director & Designer

I’m an Art Director and Designer based in Southern California with over 21 years of experience and a passion for building meaningful brands.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients — from emerging startups to established Fortune 500 companies — across corporate, agency, and freelance settings. Each chapter has deepened my belief that great design begins with strategy and storytelling working hand in hand. 🤝

In 2018, I founded LeiaCoco Brand, an independent design studio dedicated to helping business owners build their brands from the ground up.

I love diving into new ideas, shaping brand stories, and partnering with people who are ready to grow something great!

What People Are Saying

“Leia’s body of work is second to none. Not only was she able to provide us with a refined logo (she took my napkin drawing and turned it into something legit), she took our feedback and even provided us with suggestions of her own which helped us get to the finished product quickly and with great attention to detail. She’s an amazing artist and an even better person to work with.”

— P.A., BUSINESS FOUNDER, SCHOLA COFFEE

“This is exactly the type of work that this brand needs to propel us forward.”

— J.F., CREATIVE DIRECTOR, PRINCESS CRUISES

“Leia is an intuitive designer that understands the client’s needs. As our business has evolved, she has designed logos that reflect our current style and vision. So much fun working with her, and excited to see what she creates for us in the future!”

— C.M., BUSINESS FOUNDER, MEZCLA DESIGNS

“Product teams were very impressed with how Leia solved for an (almost) impossible ask. AND the option that they didn’t choose they’d like to use on a future piece.”

— E.D., SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER, PRINCESS CRUISES

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Leia for the past three years. From logo and collateral design to photoshoot direction and everything in between, Leia’s work is always incredibly thoughtful and creative. She is able to take minimal direction and turn it something that not only meets but surpasses the client’s expectations. Her pleasant demeanor and consistent professionalism are among the many things I love about working with Leia. If you’re looking for a talented artist to take your brand to the next level, Leia is your girl!”
