Leah Lavelle

Graphic Recording Artist 

Leah Lavelle helps foster vivid communication and creativity at Sway. She is a digital artist and designer behind the Nine Shapes Project. She has over 15 years experience executing visions [live art, design, brand marketing, digital content strategy] and is skilled at finding creative solutions accomplished both thoughtfully and efficiently. Since 2014, Leah has run Urban Wild Studio, assembled a team of talented artists and drawn live at events internationally. She and her crew of artists work with companies along a spectrum of industries to visually amplify their stories. Leah loves to see art, design and creative thinking at work in new ways and among fresh audiences. Before Urban Wild Studio, Leah studied journalism, then spent 10 years in retail graphic design, marketing and tech, mostly at Whole Foods Market. She evolved insight by working on freelance projects across the creative spectrum: websites, murals, layout, visual content creation, creative consultation and a bit of photography.
