About
Great Design Starts With Understanding The Bigger Picture
Ash Street Creative is an independent creative consultancy led by senior designer and creative director, Leanne Gillespie.
Creative thinking. Strategic design.
Built to move brands forward.
With 25+ years of experience, I help businesses clarify their brand, strengthen their visual presence, and create meaningful connections with the people they want to reach.
My approach sits at the intersection of strategy, brand, and design. I work with organizations that need more than a logo or a collection of marketing materials—they need a clear creative direction and a cohesive brand that can grow with them.
From Big Picture To The Details
I bring experience across branding, creative direction, digital, campaigns, environmental graphics, packaging, print, and social. That breadth allows me to look beyond individual deliverables and understand how the pieces need to work together.
Whether I'm evolving an established brand, developing a new visual identity, building a digital experience, or leading a larger campaign, I focus on creating work that is clear, considered, distinctive, and built with purpose.
Over the years, I've created more than 125 brand identities and 80 websites, collaborating with organizations ranging from emerging businesses to established brands across hospitality, food & beverage, real estate, finance, health, professional services, and beyond.
Independent by Design
Over the years, I've built relationships with experienced professionals across complementary disciplines. When a project calls for expertise beyond my own, I bring the right people into the process—from web developers and photographers to copywriters and other creative specialists.
This flexible approach allows me to stay closely involved in the creative direction and client relationship while building a team around the specific needs of each project.
Collaborative by Nature
