Leah isn’t here to think outside the box. She’s here to redesign the box, cover it in glitter, and maybe turn it into a dating app.
At this week’s Community Breakfast, Leah shared her world of unstoppable creativity—from sewing statement jackets just because, to mapping out a dating app that actually makes people focus on one match at a time. She calls it her “popcorn brain”—ideas constantly popping, never standing still.
A Colleague with a Creative Edge
Leah isn’t just part of the community—she’s part of the team. In her role at Republikken, she helps keep the kitchen running smoothly and supports the house with her practical skills. It’s the perfect match: her hands-on approach keeps things flowing day-to-day, while her creative energy brings an extra spark to the workspace.
Brainstorms with Bite
Leah’s passion is clear: sparking ideas and helping others shape theirs. Whether it’s giving structure to an event, finding the visual identity a brand didn’t know it needed, or coming up with solutions to everyday challenges, she thrives in the early, energetic stages of creation.
Right now, alongside her role at Republikken, Leah is building her own venture, Lama Lab, offering visual content creation, mockups, and creative support for brands and projects. She’s the kind of person who will spot the font on your flyer and—without being asked—send you a better one. And she’ll make it look great, too.
Kringles, Concepts, and Creative Courage
Leah’s creative streak isn’t just about work. She once baked 25 kringles in a weekend to write a recipe book. She’s dived into figma tutorials for a concept mockup. She’s sketched out ideas for everything from glitter-covered accessories to full-blown apps. Some make it to the finish line, others join what she calls her “idea graveyard.” But all start with that same spark.
And that’s the beauty of having Leah in the house—because when inspiration strikes, she’s ready to catch it. So next time you see her in the kitchen or the halls, say hi. You might walk away with your next big idea.
