Don't let joyous moments pass you by.
i'm a detroit artist serving up some serious warm and fuzzies — so you can keep coming back to what's most important.
You’re an overachiever who wants your milestone moment to reflect who you are, look picture perfect, and remain a cherished memory for years to come.
You’ve put a lot of pressure on yourself to make sure everything is just right for the people you love. I see you. You’re exactly who I had in mind when I started this shindig.
I work with head-over-heels, thoughtful, sentimental humans — like you
Let's mark your joyous moment with personality now,
while keeping it steeped in nostalgia for years to come.
Hi, I’m Leah Sachs — a Detroit artist who works with lots of mediums. Regardless of the final art type, I want my clients to celebrate life’s joyous moments, big and small.
Along the way, I’ve discovered that clients needed a personal approach that felt specific to their needs, in order to tell their beautiful story in a meaningful way. Likewise, they wanted an organized experience that fit their busy life.
I find inspiration from my clients’ unique story and center my art around them, so they feel nostalgic whenever they revisit their special piece — whether it’s wedding stationery, commissioned art, or a unique product.
The most important thing to me is that my clients have a visual reminder of a joyous moment that matters to them… as a well as a fun, beautiful piece of art to enjoy for years.
As seen in:
my approach is simple:
Timeless and quintessentially "you."
artist & owner
Hi, I'm Leah.
From artsy kid to entrepreneur.
Also... Obliger. Enneagram 3. INFJ.
With two words-focused degrees (English and Linguistics) from Michigan State, a stint as a magazine editor-in-chief, three years as the executive assistant to a venture capital firm’s CEO, and a lifetime as the “artsy kid,” I’ve… had a journey.
And trust me, I get it: working with an artist can feel like a gamble.
(Maybe you’ve been let down by a flaky, chaotic “creative”?)
Been there, too. That’s why I do things differently.
Each step along my winding career path has equipped me to put equal weight into the left-brained organization and right-brained creativity of your experience. I‘m here to give you a beautiful heirloom while taking the guesswork and risk out of commissioning something one-of-a-kind.
Plus, with hundreds of clients served, thousands of practice hours put in, a board of directors presidency earned for the Michigan Association of Calligraphers, more envelopes addressed than I could even count, and multiple workshops taken from the world’s best, I’m pretty damn good at it.
*Does hair flip.*
I pinch myself every day that my longtime, dorky hobbies became my job. It’s kind of crazy that one gal could be this lucky to get to work as a Detroit artist. I’m trusted by heavy-hitters like Louis Vuitton, Nordstrom, and Sweetgreen, but spend most days designing personalized creations for incredible people (like you), who will cherish them.
When I’m not working in my cozy and light-filled home studio, you can most likely find me:
- 🐶 out for a walk with Lake, our energetic pup
🍹 sipping a Paloma on our backyard deck
👩🏻🍳 cooking with Adam, my engineer/woodworker hubby
🏠 scheming up our next home reno project
But when I am busy creating, I promise to bring my passion, dedication, and attention to detail to each and every piece. Because you deserve it.
it takes a village — and mine is incredible

If I could leave six stars, I would!
“Leah could not have been more wonderful to work with and her product was absolutely magical. If I could leave six stars, I would. She made the planning process seamless and enjoyable. You must go with Leah — not only for her fabulous designs, but she is reliable, responsive, and a true pleasure.”
