Leigh D (She/Her)

GET TO KNOW LEIGH:

One thing people might not know about you?

One thing people may not know about me is… I’m a fully trained SFX makeup artist! I attended school for this back in 2012. I planned to work in the Vancouver Film Industry before my career as a model and influencer unexpectedly took me in another direction. I still bring out my kit and dust off my skills every Halloween though and am known by my followers as a Queen of Halloween.

What was your favourite trip you’ve taken?

My favourite trips I’ve ever taken… have been my journeys to Africa. I’ve been twice now, once to Namibia and then most recently to Kenya’s Masai Mara. My greatest passion is observing, learning about and photographing wildlife. Both of these adventures fed my soul in a very special way.

What is one thing you have always wanted to learn or know how to do?

Something I’ve always wanted to learn how to do is… sew! I’ve fiddled with small projects here and there and have taught myself how to make small accessories with leather but I would LOVE to learn how to fully construct fashion pieces like gowns and jackets. One day I’ll find the time!
