Leah Savage (she/her) is a design researcher and communications professional based in New York City. She is currently a master’s student at Parsons School of Design and works as a digital communications strategist.

Leah’s work has been grounded in social justice, which has shaped the way she approaches work across all settings. She is resourceful, collaborative, and diligent. While grassroots movements have continued to shape cultural trends, she has been working within them firsthand. Her experience spans strategic communications design, social sciences research, activism, and the New York arts and culture scene.

Leah works throughout every phase of branding initiatives for social, political, and public health campaigns – she has collaborated with organizations like Harvard University and the Boston Mayor’s Office to share public initiatives in Boston, MA and beyond. Her propensity for research lends itself to deep discovery on projects. She works curiously and iteratively with a high attention to detail.

During her time at Parsons, she has been recruited by faculty to work on interdisciplinary teams on independent research and creative projects spanning housing policy, public art projects, AI, and education. Throughout her life Leah has made a habit of creating community across nearly every setting, from starting nonprofit organizations to leading brand education trips in Tequila, Mexico at the age of 22.
