Welcome to Art Esc

I’m Anna Leckie—artist, illustrator, graphic designer, MBA, and creative visionary. I work at the intersection of UX strategy, design, and business, helping teams turn insight into direction. Art Esc is the home of my creative journey, where storytelling and design come together to craft meaningful, memorable visual experiences.

My art and design work are driven by purpose, curiosity, and impact. I work with individuals and organizations who want their stories to translate into experiences that resonate, whether through fine art, illustration, branding, or digital products. My role is often to take something complex or loosely defined and turn it into something clear, expressive, and meaningful.

Alongside my creative practice, I bring a strong foundation in UX strategy and business thinking. I specialize in translating goals, research, and constraints into thoughtful visual and digital experiences that serve both people and organizations. From e-commerce design and product packaging to brand systems and digital design, I approach every project with a balance of creativity, strategy, and intention.

How I Work

I’m a systems thinker by nature. Whether I’m creating a painting or shaping a digital experience, I start by understanding the goal, the audience, and the context. I enjoy sitting with ambiguity, synthesizing information, and translating insights into clear direction. This approach allows me to bridge creativity and strategy in a way that feels both expressive and purposeful.

With over a decade of experience in marketing and an MBA, I bring a UX strategy lens to my design work. I focus on human-centered thinking, clear storytelling, and intentional decision-making, ensuring that what I create isn’t just visually compelling, but aligned with real goals and outcomes.

The Work I’m Most Passionate About

I’m drawn to projects that create meaningful impact, whether that’s through art that sparks conversation or design that improves how people interact with brands and products. I especially love long-term creative partnerships where I can help clients refine, evolve, and grow their visual and experiential identity over time.
