Introduction

Through the foundation of branding, Leslie Ann Akin helps her clients enlarge their business presence while they enlarge their sense of self and their own capabilities.

Since 1989 Leslie Ann has designed graphics and developed a strong following for her distinctive style of personal and business branding. Her grasp of design and ability to understand what her clients wants, even if her client can’t verbalize it, is something that comes naturally to her.

Leslie was a professional clown for 15 years and even performed twice at The White House. She was a jazz radio DJ for 12 years in San Francisco and her design studio was voted business of the year.

Leslie The Brand Boss works with smart people who want to show up in a bigger way. They have more to accomplish in their lives and are at a crossroads in defining how to move forward in a significant manner. That’s where your heartburn ends, and Leslie Ann’s work begins.

​Leslie Ann enjoys meeting and collaborating with clients on zoom. Let’s connect.

Intuits with Ease and Grace

Leslie is amazing. She was imaging my brand as I was speaking to her about my desires, and when we went to her studio, she came up with the perfect brand in a matter of minutes. She can intuit what you want with ease and grace. Give her a try for your brand!

Awesome Graphic Surprises

It was so fun to work with [Leslie]. Lots of awesome graphic surprises. I realized I felt like a circle had been completed. I’ve thrown mucho dinero at poor designs, advertising, creating meetups, domains etc. It’s such a relief to come out of a project with something so beautiful and useable.
