Stories are made to be shared.

Whether silly, sentimental, or serious, the best ones cut through the chaos of contemporary culture to find the sweet seeds of goodness buried at the center:

The timelessness in timely trends. The soft solace in the hustle. The magnificence in the mess of human life.

I’m Leah, and here at The Core Stories, I’m in the business (and pleasure) of storytelling using writing, photography, illustration, and digital marketing and branding. Whatever the tool, the goal is the same: to tell true tales with heart.

A few favorite recent projects include an essay for Design*Sponge defining “home” in Brooklyn, an article for Clementine Daily on embracing the anti-hustle, and a behind-the-scenes look at the Smithsonian’s archives for My Modern Met.
