My name is Matt G. Leger (pronounced "LAY-zhay"), and I'm a native-born Cajun from Lafayette, LA, USA. I've lived and worked in New Orleans, the Washington DC area, NYC, Philly, Atlanta and Africa—hence the company name.
For most of my life I have been fascinated with graphics and images, typefaces and logos. From the time I first discovered graphic design (then called "commercial art") in junior high school, I knew this was the sort of work I wanted as a career. I went on to graduate from Louisiana State University's College of Art & Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Since then I've been designing, drawing, writing and creating both print and digital content.
I've worked in printing, temporary staffing, non-profits, biotech research, advertising and as a freelancer both "on the side" and "between jobs." My experience spans four decades and a variety of corporate, government and organization environments, from small shops to huge multinationals. If you want details, check out my resumé (CV) in PDF or Word.

Testimonials
From actual clients and colleagues
"Thank you for the great job you did on our catalog.  I know it is not an easy task to execute first year design of all new products and desired layout requirements, but you were able to make it an easy process. You checked all the boxes---design, communication, accuracy, and timeliness. Thank you for your excellent service and quality product. Look forward to working with you again."

"Matt designed a logo for my small business that perfectly captures the essence of our business. He quickly came up with several logos for me to choose from, and his ideas for what to depict in the logo were better than any of mine. I appreciate his professionalism, his attention to detail, his quick turnaround time, and his creativity. This small task convinced me that Matt is truly gifted as a graphic designer."
