Brown Feather Designs was created by Leanne Abramo in 2007. Originally from Indianapolis, Leanne attended Ball State University where she received a BFA in Photography. After living in both New Orleans and Chicago, she moved back to her home state and received her Associates degree in Graphic Design from The Art Institute. She currently resides with her wife and their 2 sons in Indianapolis.
Leanne creates thoughtful, clean and contemporary design. She enjoys working in layout, magazine, and corporate the design the most. Her strengths lie in presentation, logo, magazine, and promotional design. She is organized in her workflow and dedicated to each project she is involved with.
The story behind Brown Feather Designs started with her grandfather, Earl Valentine King. He was a craftsman and folk artist; always creating birdhouses and wooden decorations, as well as writing about his own history. Earl gave Leanne the nickname “Brown Feather” as a child and it is what he called for the rest of his life until he passed away in 2003. The name stuck with her and she uses it as a namesake and as a mark to honor his creativity, his intelligence, and his boundless spirit.
