About me

I’m Leanne Clift – a driven art director and designer with a degree in Visual Communication, majoring in art direction. I recently developed a love for video editing – and I’ve always had a passion for fine wine.

I’m an energetic, courageous and career-driven team player.

I’m good at handling a fast-paced work environment and dealing with tight deadlines seems to be my superpower. I’m a fast learner and an even faster worker. I enjoy mentoring young creatives and I consider myself a nurturing influence.


Have no fear of perfection - you’ll never reach it.
— Salvador Dali
