LET's CHAT!

Leanne Jones - Founder and Creative Director of Leanne Digital

How It Started

I'm Leanne, founder and creative director of Leanne Digital. With over 10 years of experience in branding, web design, and digital marketing, I've worked in both agency and in house environments before launching the studio in 2023.

I built Leanne Digital because I wanted to bring together the two things I care about most in this work: beautiful design and real strategy. A brand should look good, but it also needs to help people understand who you are, trust what you do, and choose you.

That's why our work connects brand clarity, website design, SEO, paid ads, and digital strategy. We create brands and websites that feel professional, tell the right story, and help businesses get seen online.

As a proud member of Peguis First Nation and an Indigenous woman in tech, I'm especially passionate about supporting Indigenous-owned businesses and organizations. My goal is to create marketing and visual systems that honour culture, community, and story while helping businesses grow with confidence.
