About me

I’m Leslie Henslee, an artist, graphic designer, and creative co-conspirator. For over 25 years, I’ve helped creative businesses by delivering beautiful, accessible designs that are clear, engaging, and easy to understand.

My work includes websites, visual identities, marketing collateral, and oddball creative projects that need structure without losing their life. I care about design that feels authentic and specific. I make my clients look good.

Before consulting, I was an in-house marketing director for a San Francisco architecture firm, leading marketing strategy, client relations, and design. Since then, I’ve produced hundreds of AEC-specific proposals, reports and qualifications, websites, email newsletters, graphics and more. I recently co-developed an online training platform specifically for AEC marketers.

In all my spare time, I am training in chaplaincy through Clinical Pastoral Education and the Interreligious Chaplaincy certificate program at the Graduate Theological Union. That formation is shaping how I think about listening, presence, grief, identity, place, and care. I bring that same attention to my creative work: helping people notice what matters, find language that fits, and make something sturdy enough to share.

I hold a Master of Creative Arts from San Francisco State University and a BA in Studio Art from Williams College. I live in the south-facing Sangres of Colorado.
