Virtual Event

By attending an AIGA event, you agree to abide by the Code of Conduct.

This month we’ll reflect on the last year. Many of us are our own boss and don’t get the same praise or critique as our peers. Now is the time to share our experiences and capture some insights leading into the new year.
Take 15 minutes before the next meeting to reflect on the following topics and be ready to share.
1. One win from the last year
2. One miss from the last year
3. One change you’ve made or will make this year
4. One recommendation (podcast, book, movie, article, etc.)

Leah Meilander
Leah Meilander
Chair of Solopreneurs
I am Freelance Visual Designer and Artist based in Bloomington, MN. I have over a decade of experience with brand identities, designing for print & digital, website design, event design, as well as marketing strategy & planning. Overall, I'm more of a generalist who specializes in brand strategy, graphic design, and web design.

In addition to being a freelance designer, I am also a lettering and illustration artist. A lot of my custom hand-drawn work appears in my client projects.

When I’m not designing or drawing, I enjoy climbing/bouldering, lifting, going to movies, dancing, and hanging out with family & friends.
