Creative Edge Design

Since 1981, Richard Leach has provided graphic design and illustration services to corporate and individual clients through his Toronto based company, Creative Edge Design. An enthusiastic advocate of his industry's "e-volution", Richard is inspired by the challenge of mastering hi-tech tools and inventing new illustration techniques. His 'e-creativity' is balanced by his love of traditional techniques, which combine to create an approach that enables him to interpret clients' visions across an extraordinary range of styles.

Richard's work has won awards in both the dimensional illustration and graphic design categories. A connoisseur of the finer things in life, Richard's background in fine art, his love of music and his fascination with the "magic" of language have provided him with a solid platform from which he can launch the most demanding concepts. His work is marked by clarity and a natural ability to absorb a client's brief and conceptualize their visions in renderings that both clarify and enhance the intended messages.

He works closely with his clients to create create fresh approaches to design and illustration that are surprising, appropriate and cost effective.
