👋 

I'm Leona. I'm an Art Director. I think and make things. 

I am a D&AD New Blood having won a Graphite Pencil in 2020, a first for Ireland. In 2021, I was nominated by ICAD to represent Ireland at the Art Directors Club of Europe where I was listed as a High Potential, a selection of the best young art directors in Europe. Through IAPI, I represented Ireland in the Eurobest Young Creative competition in 2022. And have had work recognised by D&AD, ICAD, Kinsale Sharks and Effies.​ I've a BA in Fine Art: Photography and Film from Limerick School of Art and Design and an MSc in Advertising from Technological University, Dublin. I believe in pushing possibility and creating work that can make a difference. Or, at the very least, I'll settle for a lil smile.
