Hi there! I'm Leah Mohammed, a graphic designer based in Poughkeepsie, NY. I graduated with an undergraduate degree in Graphic Design at SUNY Oswego, where I’ve learned to creative storytelling with strong visual communication. My goal is to become a museum curator, and I hope to gain hands-on experience in curation to deepen my understanding of exhibitions and audience engagement. Beyond design, I’ve built a practical foundation through roles in school maintenance, gallery internships, and customer service. I’m eager to apply my design skills to real-world exhibits and education initiatives, and I’m excited to grow as both a designer and a curator.
