Hand-drawn, community-inspired, and created by one of our own.
Our Art Director, Jesse Leyva, doesn't stop creating when the workday ends. Beyond his work at talkStrategy, he's an illustrator whose portfolio includes children's books, custom commissions and, most recently, a collection of hand-drawn Spurs-inspired designs.
When asked what motivates his work, Jesse said:
"I think the thing that really motivates me is the story of a piece. I love taking a moment that resonates with a community and turning it into something that people connect with emotionally."
From children's book illustrations to custom artwork to brand creative, storytelling is at the heart of everything he creates. We couldn't pass up the chance to show off a little of the talent he brings both inside and outside of talkStrategy!
And if you've had your eye on one of his designs, you can find them at shopleyva.com. 🏀🖤🤍
