Hello!

I'm Leslie Frempong, a creative director, photographer, videographer, and designer based in the Washington DC. 

 

Besides my hands-on creative expertise, I also really enjoy building and managing in-house creative studios, brand development, UX content strategy, and social content creation. My work has been featured in CNN, Paper Magazine, UNIQLO, The Poetry Foundation, The Chicago Tribune, The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Harvard University ArtLab and more. I've also had the pleasure of working with notable clients like Dwell Magazine, Ben and Jerry's, Women's Convention, Oskar Blues, Swisher Sweets, BBDO Worldwide, The Art Institute of Chicago, Adornment and Theory, and Senator Elizabeth Warren to name a few.

 

In my free time, I enjoy hiking and watching One Piece.
