Fearn Leicester

I am primarily a graphic designer/illustrator based out of Seattle Washington. Most recently I worked for REI CO-OP from 2015 - 2024. Mainly creating product graphics for REI’s branded impulse products. Before joining the company there was no product graphics team. Over the years I helped develop the brands graphic style. A style which influences the brands graphics to this day. I was also responsible for a wide scope of tasks such as, layout design for gear instructions, pattern design, graphics for brand initiatives, event graphics, internal branding and graphics, to name a few.

Before my 8 year tenure at REI I was a freelance designer. At the time I worked under the name Ricky Ray Lester Jr. Creating brands product graphics with a focus on illustration and hand drawn lettering.

A part from graphic design and illustration I am street photographer, and mixed media artist. These works can be found my site, and Instagram.
