Leslie Bakke is a creative director and brand strategist who brings ideas into form—through systems, stories, and design-led experiences.

With two decades at the intersection of editorial, branding, and experiential design, she has led the development of campaigns, live environments, and visual systems for platforms like VOGUE, Vanity Fair, WIRED, and The New Yorker—translating editorial vision into tactile, immersive experiences.

Her work moves fluidly between disciplines and sectors: from shaping brand identity for beauty and entertainment clients, to creative partnerships with cultural institutions and emerging founders. Across every project, Leslie brings clarity, momentum, and aesthetic intelligence.

She now works independently, partnering with studios, brand teams, and vision-led businesses to build identities that are both strategic and sensorial—where voice, design, and experience are developed as one.
