Week 24: Leanne

I’m Leanne, a child of the neighbouring Metropolis of Barnsley, I commute into Leeds ever day to work for Leeds City Council in the marketing team. My day job sees me running around the city working on projects like the beautiful Victorian Leeds Kirkgate Market and the many Farmer’s Markets in the city; the bi-annual Leeds Architecture Awards celebrating excellence in urban design; the annual Leeds Digital Festival bringing together all aspects of digital from games development and web design to film, photography and art. It busy but fun and most of my meetings are held in bars, cafes and pubs so expect an insight into the best places to meet up.

After hours I am the guardian of a small travelling #LegoTourist taking bookings for adventures across the world. I’m also on a mission to complete #30things of randomness to celebrate growing old gracelessly. The challenges include everything from dance and language classes to milking cows and the odd spot of street art. I’m also the Digital & Design Editor for the @CultureVultures blog seeking out interesting snippets of news, events and creative characters across the north.
