Balancing two worlds.

I've been an artist in several media: graphic designer, illustrator, printmaker and tile artist. Currently, I’ve coordinated them into two venues.

As L & J Graphics, it’s about graphic design and illustration. I’m a resourceful and inventive graphic designer who leverages creative experience and professional relationships to create balanced and cost-effective client results. With a variety of clients (from publications to medical device companies) and projects (from visual identity to illustration), I listen to the client to design visual tools to attract their audience and benefit their business.

As Lea-Way Designs, LLC, the focus is fine art. As a tile artist, I create colorful, textile- and culturally-inspired tiles for home décor, jewelry, and residential installations as a way to incorporate art with meaning into a person’s home and personal space. Those spaces should be a physical and spiritual sanctuary, where one can go to reenergize away from the rest of the world. Why not surround (and adorn) yourself with things that create a place of calm and affirmation?
