Custom Objects & Design
Lea loves to make things. In fact, she thinks that "objects" are actually worlds of experience. She especially loves to design and make things that are whimsical and conceptually engaging. Are you looking for a particularly lively object for a special purpose? Perhaps a totally unique party favor? Or a surprising promotional item?
To get started, just fill out the brief form below or send Lea an email with a few details about what you're working on and she'll get back to you with some initial thoughts regarding expected cost and next steps.
Here are some of the kinds of things Lea can design and make (also see below for specific examples):
- a unique gift for a friend or family member
- a motivational object for your employees or team
- an item to help you reach out to your organization's community
- a promotional item for your business
- wedding favors and other party favors

- almost anything!

*Please note: Lea can brainstorm designs for just about any material or medium. She's designed ceramic pieces, napkins, clothing, stationery, etc.. If the result is something within Leafcutter Designs' capacity to make, we can provide a quote to produce it for you. If it's too technical or complicated, we'd still love to help you conceptualize your object and can then suggest next steps for having it made.

A Few Examples of Custom Work...
Custom Trade Tokens

|
Ritual Restaurant in Nelson Bay, Australia commissioned a variety of custom tokens for special dining events. The token at left was good for admission to a tasting dinner, while the colorful tokens below were made for a children's memory game featuring locally grown produce. |
 |

|
The custom token to the left was designed and produced for Maternal Instinct and used as currency for consulting sessions. The text reads, "good for one free hour of creative genius." |

Giant Dice

|
These extra large wooden dice were made for Steve & Kate's Camp, a San Francisco Bay Area summer day camp with 18 locations. The dice were stamped with artwork provided by the client, representing their six main studio programs - filmmaking, recording, style, cooking, performing arts, and ceramics. Campers roll the dice to help them decide which activities to do.

Clothing Design - No Enemy Diatom Line

|
Lea had a blast designing a new line of diatom adorned clothing for Santa Cruz based No Enemy. The diatoms float across hoodies and t-shirts for both adults and children.
The tag explains:
Diatoms are microscopic organisms that inhabit the many waters of the Earth. There are about 100,000 different species in existence today! The oceanic food chain depends on these tiny photosynthetic creatures. They also play an important role in water quality monitoring. The marvelously intricate designs of diatoms are a reminder that we live on a beautiful planet worth caring for.

Tote Bags - Portland Food Trucks w/ Alula Editions
 |
These fun tote bags were a collaboration with Alula Editions for the 2010 Open Engagement conference in Portland, OR. The conference is about a kind of art many people have termed "social practice" or "relational aesthetics." As such, we wanted to design and make the bag in a way that embodied these concepts.
We heard about Portland's vibrant food cart culture, so we invited a bunch of fun folks to go out with paper and Sharpies to draw food carts, such as The Big Egg and Wicked Waffles. We then turned these drawings into a repeat pattern for fabric and a bunch of generous helpers up in Portland silk-screened and sewed them. Conference attendees were greeted with a tote bag full of conference materials that doubled as a guide to Portland food cart cuisine.
