Overview
My name is Leah McDowell and I'm an experienced print designer based in Edinburgh, Scotland.I love telling stories, but I’ve never been much of a wordsmith. It's my job, however, to communicate stories of all sorts, all born from an author’s imagination.Lucky for me, there’s that saying about how pictures speak a thousand words!My experience in design in book and magazine publishing has granted me skills in print design, illustration, typesetting, hand lettering, print production and art direction.Let me help you to tell your story to the people who matter. I'm always excited to talk about new projects, so drop me a line if you are too!
