Biography
Leah was born and raised just outside of Scranton, Pennsylvania (famously known for the hometown of the TV series “The Office.”). Growing up, she found enjoyment in soccer, music, and roller skating. Throughout high school and college, Leah held multiple roles in the customer service realm. After college, she obtained a sales associate position for a screen printing company in the area. This is where her love of branded merchandise began. Her favorite part of the process was seeing the digital visions being brought to life in a tangible object, and the excitement on the faces of her clients when receiving their newly branded merchandise. Leah eventually relocated to the Raleigh area, and became the production coordinator for a branding company in Raleigh. This position allowed her to focus on her knowledge of the production process and solidify her understanding of different applications and which method would fit best to each order. Leah was also involved in creating social media content and blog posts for the company. She greatly enjoys staying up-to-date on trends in the industry.
Outside of work, Leah enjoys spending time with her new puppy, Aspen, getting together with friends, listening to music (while singing and dancing), shopping, and traveling with her partner, Angelo. They try to make it a point to explore a new area each year. Leah also enjoys traveling back home when she can to spend time with family and friends, both furry and human!
