MEET THE DESIGNER

LESLIE

Leslie is the founder of Blake & Co. Design.

Prior to starting Blake & Co. Design, Leslie spent seven years working as a graphic designer and art director across several advertising agencies, a Fortune 500 company, a commercial real estate firm, and a non-profit.

Leslie was able to hone in on her passion for bespoke, luxury stationery in 2017 as she custom designed pieces for her own wedding. This experience prompted Leslie to refocus her career exclusively on stationery design. As a result, Blake & Co. Design was founded in 2018 with one sole purpose: to design pieces of art that her clients would treasure long after their special occasions ended.

Leslie received her graduate degree in Graphic Design from Parsons School of Design. She has two undergraduate degrees in Advertising and Psychology from The Pennsylvania State University.

Presently, Leslie lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with her husband Michael, her son Ari and their dog Blake (the muse for Blake & Co. Design!).

Testimonials

“Leslie did an awesome job with our wedding. She produced a wide variety of materials from invitations to menus. She was able to combine thoughtful design on her own part with our starting ideas and suggestions to produce a diverse set of beautiful materials. She helped us stay on schedule with excellent project management, clear communication, and above and beyond responsiveness. Thank you Leslie!”

“Leslie is incredibly talented and has a true creative eye that not many have. I live on the water, and we were having our wedding at our house. Leslie came up with the most beautiful water color invitations to match our vision perfectly. They were so elegant that I received calls and texts from my guests telling me how amazing they are!! I was blown away. From there, Leslie created the most unique all wood bar frame and menu (printed on wood!) to match our rustic but elegant décor. We did cocktail napkins, thank you notes, menu cards, place settings.. All slightly different to keep things exciting, but Leslie created an amazing flow with the designs which also kept everything cohesive. It was the perfect balance. She even did my welcome notes and bags! Not to mention she is so sweet to work with. I cannot recommend Leslie enough. When you find the right person, you just know!”

Sarah W.

“Leslie was extremely helpful to my fiance and I! We were in need of a classy and elegant personalized 'thank you' cards for our engagement/wedding gifts. We left the creativity to her and within days she had multiple mockups for us and was willing to make whatever changes we felt necessary. Once ordered, the turnaround time was super quick. Leslie is very hands on and treated us like friends more than customers. Highly recommend her for her designs, efficiency and pricing!”

Justin M.

“Leslie created invites, place cards, menus and a seating chart for my best friend's bridal shower. She was open to my suggestions and did multiple iterations until we arrived at the final product, which was very well received by the bride and guests. She was very detail oriented and responsive. She also delivered the invites to my apartment building at no additional cost. I would highly recommend.”

“Leslie designed the most beautiful note cards and envelopes for me. The color, design and detail is a perfect reflection of my style!!! She got it PERFECTLY! I am thrilled to have these beautiful cards and I know I will use them for years! Thank you!!!!!”

“Leslie created the escort cards for my wedding. Not only did she print them, but she used her creativity to help me come up with a unique idea for them. I had an outdoor wedding where the venue suggested to not use the typical tent style cards. Leslie gave me several great options. We ended up using small flowers as a paper weight for each card and it was beautiful! She had so much attention to detail that she even worked with my florist to make sure they were perfect! I couldn’t be more grateful for how much effort Leslie put into this one small aspect of my wedding that really made each guest feel special. After working with her, it's easy to see that she wants to work hard for her clients and contribute a special touch to their big life moments.”
