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

Join us in November as we reflect on the highs and lows of the year. Share your successes, discuss what worked well, and celebrate your achievements. Equally, we’ll explore the projects that presented challenges and share our resolutions. This open and honest dialogue will not only provide valuable insights but also strengthen our collective resolve as solopreneurs. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one another and grow together.

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.
