LEAH BARNA
Design + Photography + Motion Graphics
Hi! I’m Leah. I’m passionate about using design to educate and inspire others.
My background in fine art and classical music have shaped my discipline as a designer and fostered a deep understanding of the power of collaboration. This imaginative foundation is also likely the driving force behind my mildly dramatic self-portraits.
Have an idea? I'd love to help bring it to life.
