HOLA! I’m Leslie

Made in Brooklyn. 

Raised by Colombians.

Grew up in Staten Island. 

Came of age in Atlanta.

I am an Associate Creative Director based in NYC.  I have a background in film production and animation.

I consider myself a “hands-on” creative, or “maker” if you’re into jargon. I love concept-ing as much as I like executing ideas.
