Narayani Leonardo is a Dominican-Ecuadorian American designer and art director with a focus in digital design and visual research. Born and raised in New York, Narayani draws inspiration from her experiences within the Latin American diaspora. Her work emphasizes female empowerment and honors the legacy of past and present matriarchs.

Her designs are rooted in establishing deep connections with people and their environments, both past and present. Narayani aims to create ethereal visual narratives that strike a balance between minimalist and maximalist ideals, evoking a sense of calm and serenity.

Her culturally-forward and innovative design approach challenges monolith beliefs in order to highlight the creativity of Latinx artists in the creative industry. Her process always involves weaving narratives that reflect the identities and experiences of underrepresented communities.
