Patrick Leishman

My name is Paddy and I am a 29 year old graphic designer and musician from Auckland, New Zealand currently on a work visa in the United States having recently relocated to Los Angeles from New York City.

I have worked as a graphic designer for the past two and half years both in the music industry and in television production, my most recent work being for the acclaimed Los Angeles based live music creative studio, Human Person, working on treatment decks and asset design for artists like SZA and The Kid Laroi.

Alongside my work in design, I am also dedicated musician and have been for over ten years. I completed both a Bachelor of Music and Post-Graduate Diploma in Music before turning my attention to my other love of digital design, gaining a Post Graduate Diploma in Web and Graphic Design. My love of music has been invaluable in my design work and has allowed for me to gain a deep understanding of what works in the design and music industry.

Over the last two years I have worked in New Zealand, London and New York and I have experience in designing album art and merchandise, promotional materials for artists and their music, touring assets and treatment decks for concept pitching.

I am a passionate, creative and hard working individual with an eye for detail and feel I would be a great fit for a design role in your team. I am excited to learn and want to continue to build on the experience I already have.
