Howdy!
I’m Leah Olson.
Creative Director.
Strategist. Storyteller.
Growing up on a farm, my first job involved mucking stalls, feeding calves, and learning how to fix just about anything with baling twine. My first boss (my dad) taught me how to work hard, take pride in my craft, and lead with confidence. More importantly, he taught me that it’s not just what you do, but how you do it, and why. It’s been a while since I’ve pulled on my barn boots, but those lessons still guide how I show up as a creative leader.

Whether I’m setting creative vision, shaping brand and marketing strategy, guiding campaign development, or mentoring a team of designers, I bring curiosity, energy, smiles, and a relentless drive to create work that matters. I live for those moments when work becomes play, when the hours fly by, and deep joy seeps into the work in ways the audience can feel. I’m at my best working alongside thoughtful, collaborative teams—asking good questions, sweating the details, and building experiences that resonate, inspire action, and deliver impact.

Away from my desk, you’ll find me making Halloween costumes with material from the recycle bin, on a PNW backpacking adventure with family and friends, rock climbing with the best buddies a girl could ask for, and dreaming up “million-dollar ideas” that I’ll absolutely never act on.
