Leanne | Graphic Designer
Leanne is the face of the company, and the creative force behind Sheaf Design.
Qualified to degree level, an original ‘Cas lass’ — Leanne came to Sheffield after moving here to study Graphic Design back in 2002. She met Martin in her student halls, and the rest is history.
Before setting up her own design business, Leanne worked as an in-house graphic designer for 15 years at a Barnsley-based design and marketing agency.
In this fast-paced environment, she worked on creative projects for a host of industries — from healthcare and beauty, to industrial and trades. She credits her time here with teaching her how to adapt quickly to create engaging solutions, whilst meeting the brief and hitting tight deadlines.
Now she uses her wide skill set on a daily basis to deliver stunning individual designs, each carefully researched and expertly crafted to help her clients stand out and grow.
Martin | Manager & Director
Originally from Nottingham, Martin came to Sheffield to study photography after studying art history and photography at college in Norwich.
Now as a full time manager at a corporate business, Martin’s administrative and managerial skill set keeps everythings organised and running smoothly, as well as being on hand to offer support and solve problems.
You’ll find him taking care of business in the background, studying excel spreadsheets and looking after accounts. That said, he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Martin assists in all aspects of the business — from picking up enquiries and making deliveries, to running the printer. When it’s all hands on deck he’ll even join in with design, finishing, and packing your orders.
It’s not all work
As it’s a family affair, you may even see our gang out and about together around the Kelham Island area, or helping us set up at business events.
Out of work we enjoy indie music (you’ll find Leanne at the front at Tramlines), walking and camping in the countryside, checking out local attractions, and enjoying a few beers and pub grub (with J2Os for our mini colleagues).

Why ‘Sheaf’ Design?
Like many people who become adopted Sheffielders, we fell in love with this city, and we’re incredibly proud to live here.
And since we serve so many incredible businesses in Sheffield & South Yorkshire, it seemed only fitting to incorporate a little Sheffield into our business.
For those from further afield — the river Sheaf runs right through the city, and is where Sheffield gets its name from.
