    about me

    Native to Nashville, TN, Leia Vieira started showing interest in the arts at a very early age. It was watching her mother paint when she was just 4 years old that Leia herself first began to experiment with drawing and painting. Leia continued to dabble in artwork throughout her formative years, as her family moved to San Jose, California (the place responsible for developing her mad cravings for dangerous crab and sour dough bread) and back again to Tennessee.

    Fine arts in its many different mediums became a strong and ever-growing part of Leia’s life. Years of practice under some of the best artists and teachers helped lead Leia to achieving a government paid scholarship to the prestigious Governor's School for the Arts hosted at Middle Tennessee State University. After high school, the options were plentiful but family history and an interest in digital media ultimately brought Leia to Orlando, Florida. There she attended Full Sail University, graduating with a degree in Digital Media … not to mention a perfect attendance award!

    Leia brings a true artist’s view and passion to a sometimes cold and predictable medium, setting her apart from the crowd and providing a strong foundation for success in her field.

    With an impressive career spanning more than a decade, Leia Vieira has extensive experience across a spectrum of web disciplines including graphic design, e-marketing, multi-media animation and web development.

    After graduating from Full Sail University, she began her career as a graphic designer for an online e-procurement company within the hospitality industry. With the knowledge gained in that position, Leia successfully pursued additional freelance roles within the Central FL market, including working for major golf and leisure resorts.

    Leia’s career advanced even further with the opportunity to join one of Central Florida's leading full-service marketing and advertising agencies for the hospitality and real estate industries. Her extensive portfolio includes work on accounts for renowned resorts, businesses and establishments including:

    • Associated Luxury Hotels
    • Cambridge Homes
    • Chateau on the Lake
    • Downtown Disney® Resort Area Hotels
    • East Bay
    • Emerson International
    • Fi-Foil
    • Innisbrook Resort & Country Club
    • Longboat Key Club & Resort
    • Renaissance at World Golf Village
    • Sheraton Chicago
    • Westin New York
    • Westin Rio Mar

    Leia describes herself as an aspiring artist with a particular interest in showing the light of the darkness within everything that goes bump in the night in Florida… alligators are her favorite! Outside of work, Leia enjoys running, ocean kayaking, Tia Chi, and hanging out with her family.
