I'm Leighton!
I’m not a chef, but boyardees designs delicious
I’m a creative director based out in California and specializing in mostly B2B SaaS experiences and creative contracts for AI companies. I've led design at Nike, Volkswagen, Lockheed Martin, and a range of tech companies- always delivering with good communication, great design, and the best vibes.
