Leigh Van Winkle

My passion is in design and the ability to use a creative mind while navigating this world. I enjoy bringing an idea or concept to life and revising it to make it exactly how it was envisioned. I have a love for nature and long walks in the woods. I gain insight and inspiration from the outdoors and thoroughly love being there.

My experience started with an in-house student run ad agency where I did many designs as a freelance designer. After I earned my degree I began an internship as a marketing intern at Girl Scouts Lakes and Pines where I gained even more experience doing a wide variety of designs and projects. During my free time I also do freelance work; I did work for an up and coming local business by creating a new logo and business card as well as a flyer used for the community.

I also run the website I created for the business as well.

Naturally I am a very creative person, and I always have been, so naturally I went after a design degree so I could use my passion to make a living doing what I love. My first degree is more technical as it is a mechanical design technology degree. I realized quickly I needed more creativity in my work, so I earned a degree in marketing and design so I would be able to utilize my creative side and pursue a career that better fit my passion.
