My Story

A little joy and happiness

Hi there! I’m Leyla, and I'm here to bring your brand's story to life through captivating design and creative strategy.

In 2020, I made a bold decision to leave the 9-5 of corporate life so I could live a life of creativity and freedom!

I’ve not looked back. With a vision to spread joy and happiness through design, I founded my own design studio, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Take a closer look…

I'm driven by the belief that great design has the power to connect, inspire, and elevate. Every brand has a unique story to tell, and I'm passionate about helping businesses like yours share their story in a way that captivates and resonates with their audience.
I love to work with mission-led businesses, using my creative skills to empower you and your organisation to stand out and make a change.
I believe in the power of simplicity, clarity, and creativity. From crafting compelling brand identities to designing seamless digital experiences, I’m committed to delivering solutions that not only look great but also drive results.
With 14 years experience in the design industry, managing a team of creatives and working on some well-known UK brands, I bring a wealth of expertise to every project.
Thanks to my marketing background, I offer more than design expertise. I know what it takes to captivate people, and I’m not afraid to use my design skills to do just that!
Every design decision I make is strategic and purposeful, aimed at helping your brand stand out in a crowded marketplace.
When I’m not crafting away in my studio, I’m most likely playing guitar, walking in the hills, daydreaming about being by the ocean, or running around after my kids.
