Why yes, Leah Duncan makes me happy…. how can she not? Her style is original and fresh and the #1 reason why I've decided to share her work with you today! Leah is a self-taught illustrator, surface pattern, and stationery designer in Texas with a degree in commercial printing. Here's a peek inside of her portfolio.

Leah is originally from my home state of South Carolina but relocated to
Austin where she lives and works from her studio as a full-time graphic designer/artist. With a modern aesthetic that is both fresh and cohesive — things I
really look at when I view the portfolio of a designer — I'm sure you'll
adore her work in her online shop which consists mainly of prints, calendars and cards. You can also work with her on custom designs as she also runs the lovely Lulu Paper.

If you'd like to know more about Leah, check out this great interview on the blog of Stephanie Fizer who talked to Leah about her work back in May 2009.
