Hi, I'm Leah
For the past 12 years I’ve worked alongside small businesses, designers and artists within the wedding, bridal, creative, fashion and wellbeing industries, providing branding and web design, graphic design and digital marketing solutions, as well as original illustration and artwork in a variety of mediums. My work is creative and contemporary, and I love working with a diverse, amazing selection of outstanding and innovative companies based all over the UK and beyond.
My Background
I first started my own business, Golden Apple, in 2008, when I began selling handmade wedding invitations and stationery. This was alongside my full-time job planning events and looking after the website and marketing campaigns for a chain of party restaurants. It quickly took off and before long I was working on Golden Apple full time; between 2008 and 2013 I worked with over 400 couples! I started working with other businesses here and there on their brands and websites, until eventually the design work became my main focus and I dropped the stationery completely in 2013.
Since then, I've created brands, websites, graphics and marketing materials for 100+ small businesses and creatives, including photographers, DJs, pubs & restaurants, beauty salons, jewellery brands and florists. In 2012 I founded and ran the Leicester & East Midlands Wedding Club for three years, hosting networking events and coffee mornings, connecting businesses and building relationships that still exist today.
Bridal Expert
One of my biggest areas of expertise has to be bridal, which started with an ongoing contract working for one of the UK's oldest and most well known influential boutiques, Miss Bush. I was also one of the founding members of bridal organisation Luxe Bride and created the branding, website, marketing materials and regular content as well as running workshops at their large Digital School gatherings to help boutique owners elevate their digital offerings. Most recently I also led a two day workshop alongside Miss Bush for global bridal brand Jesus Peiro, helping their stockists to promote their collections and learn more about digital marketing.
About Me
I live in a small village in South Leicestershire, with my web developer husband Joe, our almost 6 year old son, Felix and 3 dogs. We live in South Leicestershire and love exploring nature, living room discos, yoga, movie nights and playing Minecraft! I love fashion and have a huge collection of vintage clothing and accessories.
