Leo Welton
Leo is a graphic designer based in the North West of England, working nationally with clients on brands, visual communication, design for print and campaigns. They work with a broad range of clients with a focus on the third sector and the arts.
As a trans non binary person, Leo likes to work with marginalised communities and with organisations that champion social justice and equity. They believe design can be a force for good when used to lift voices and deliver messages in an engaging way.
Leo worked with the team at COBE to devise the brand, from rationale through to roll out of brand guidelines. They continue to support Chrissi and Aiyana with COBE’s visual communications and its sub brands.
“I was keen to work with Chrissi on this project as it was obvious how committed, passionate and driven she is to play her part in supporting real change through effective EDI practices. Through a series of brand workshops with Chrissi, Aiyana and copywriter, Olivia, we developed a brand rationale that formed the basis of the visual solution. I wanted to make sure the brand was sophisticated in its simplicity and helped echo the balanced approach of Chrissi’s work. I also wanted it to be timeless but have scope to grow organically as the company and its sub brands grow. I look forward to seeing the COBE team grow and to continue my part in this essential work.”
