Hi! I’m Lesley Watson, a graphic designer and photographer from Alabama.
I graduated from Troy University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design and Photography. During my time there, I received several awards for my work, including the prestigious DTI Department's Award for Excellence in Design.

Since then, I’ve honed my design and creative skills through various professional and personal roles. Currently, I’m the Senior Designer at Optavise, a company that provides employee benefits solutions, helping both employers and employees navigate healthcare and financial decisions. In this role, I work closely with companies to develop custom communication packages that align with their branding guidelines. I frequently create complete sets of materials—guides, posters, postcards, emails, and more. I also design full SPDs (Summary Plan Descriptions) and Benefits Explanations, offering a wide range of layout and visual design expertise. As the company has evolved, I’ve expanded my role to include managing multiple projects across departments while maintaining high design and creative standards.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me with my 4 year old daughter—either at the park, at dance class, or grabbing a treat at our local ice cream shop. Or you might find me and my husband of 12 years leading worship for our church’s youth group or taking portraits on the weekends. I also enjoy crafting, listening to music, and doing Pelaton workouts in my free time.
