HI, I'M LEAH
Designer, creative and advocate for purposeful design
After almost 6 years as an award winning head designer for an award winning firm, it was time to follow my own dreams.
I have a Bachelor of Graphic Design, Certificate in Art & Design and over a decade of hands-on experience, you're in capable hands with me by your side.
My goal? To create design with intention, I want to bring life to your ideas,
I want to help you succeed.
Well...La de da
Let's get a little more personal
I have people in my business circle ask me, why Ladeda? But funny, no one in my family questioned the name - that can you tell where it came from? Lala is my family nickname that has progressed to Ladeda at times, often getting a Snoop Dogg song sung to me as I arrive at an event
(🎵 La de da de da 🎵 if you know, you know).
I am a mother of two with a zeal for all things creative (and it rubbed off onto them!). I became the extension Art teacher at their school (the same school I went to as a child) one afternoon a week as more of a passion project. Through this I get to share what I have learnt, what helped drive me to the career I have and hopefully pass on my enthusiasm for art and creativity to the next generation.
I created Ladeda because I truly love design. I love the process, I love getting feedback from my clients telling me how happy they are, I love to see my clients succeed. After over a decade of design, the thought of a new project still gets me excited every time.
I'm a Lady
No really... I am Lady Leah White of Hougun Manor. I have title rights to a Manor Estate in Cumbria England - I have the paperwork to prove it.
I'm a problem solver
I like to be more for my clients than just the designer. If I can see processes, software, automation or solutions that could make your business better, I don't gate keep! I will let you know what it is you can do better and how.
I love a coffee and a good yarn, so reach out and let's chat about your business.
