I’m Leah Teigen, an illustrator/maker based in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

My work is inspired by memories of family and comfort, featuring cute characters whose innocent natures imply curiosity as well as fragility. This blend of play and purpose simplifies complex emotions, offering a unique understanding that honors and celebrates the vulnerability of childhood.

I aim to create impactful images without sacrificing an ounce of whimsy!
