who we are - bios
Lesley Foster, Principal/CD
Lesley Foster blends creativity, thoughtful design, and technological acumen as principal and creative director for Brown Dog Creative. Her creative direction and project management draw from the experience and skills she built by applying her fine arts degree to marketing and advertising work. Lesley began her career at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago; she refined her artistry with branding and advertising strategy. While she designed for some of Chicago and Jacksonville’s most innovative firms, Lesley layered project management and marketing strategy onto her palette of design skills. Her subsequent training in information architecture, html coding, and motion graphics brought her designs online. Lesley's balanced approach to the look, strategy, and technology of Brown Dog’s web creations produces award-winning design, industry recognition, and satisfied clients.
