Hello! I’m Leanne...
a graphic designer turned educator
I’m a U.S. Army veteran with over 25 years in communication design and 12 years of experience in the classroom. My work lives at the intersection of design and learning — where visual communication, intentional instruction and real-world application create meaningful engagement and help every learner feel capable, supported and seen.
This portfolio highlights my growth as a teaching professional and designer, showcasing work in curriculum development, child observation and learner-centered practice. The artifacts reflect my commitment to inclusive learning environments and meaningful family and community partnerships.
This is where design thinking meets early learning.

Assignments I designed with examples to clarify expectations and support student success
