About Leslie Riibe

I’m a self-motivated Senior Graphic Designer with over 15 years of experience encompassing graphic design and branding, signage and experiential design, user-centered design, photography, and digital marketing. I value listening, authenticity, and teamwork. In my current role at Weber Thompson, I’ve developed the firm’s environmental graphic design studio over the past five years. Additionally, I work closely with the marketing team on multiple fronts. From photographing our work to putting together project proposals to strategizing social media campaigns. I strive to craft meaningful experiences regardless of the medium. I\'m an active member of my Toastmasters club and frequently contribute my design talents to non-profits, including the Seattle Architecture Foundation, the AIA Diversity Roundtable, and Lambert House.
