Circa 2004, working at Group M — a boutique design studio in Philadelphia.

I'm Karen Leddy, a graphic designer and story teller living in southeastern PA. I deliver aesthetically effective experiences and communications across media and specialize in brand strategy, concept-to-completion design solutions and creative direction, marketing consultation, etc. I collaborate with writers, photographers, videographers, developers, editors, stakeholders, clients, and vendors. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design and a minor in photography from The University of the Arts, where I was trained to see and think critically. The first 6 years of my career were spent cutting my teeth at respected design studios in Philadelphia where I worked with high-end, corporate, retail, and non-profit clients. Since then, I’ve worked in-house for a few companies and occasionally take on challenges from select personal clients. 

I find inspiration everywhere—architecture, different cultures, photography, nature, vintage ephemera, etc. I take the opportunity to learn whenever possible. My free time is spent outdoors, downtown, gardening, watching live music, thrifting, traveling, and watching home reno shows.
