MY STORY
Hello, I’m Leanne Foley, illustrator, author, and storyteller.
From as far back as I can remember, I have always turned to creativity as a safe space. As a child, drawing gave me comfort and a way to make sense of the world around me.
Growing up, I faced challenges with severe asthma and the isolation that often came with it. Missing school and struggling to fit in led to moments of bullying, but art became my way of building resilience and expressing myself when words felt too difficult to find.
Alongside my love of art, I have always had an entrepreneurial heart. From growing a small paper round into the largest in town as a teenager, to starting a blog that led me to speak at conferences, I have always been curious about creating and building. In 2012, I was honoured to win the Creative Pioneer competition for digital natives, and I continue to be inspired by businesses that combine creativity with community and making a difference.
With the encouragement and support of The Prince’s Trust, I later took a leap of faith and began building Frame Your World Co. What started in a small flat quickly grew into something bigger than I ever imagined. I sold my first 800 prints from that one-bedroom home, each one carefully illustrated, packaged, and posted with the hope it might bring joy to someone’s day.
Since then, Frame Your World Co has evolved into a collection of art inspired by travel, animals, and the beauty of everyday stories. Every piece I create is rooted in story or that original spark of curiosity and the belief that creativity has the power to inspire, uplift, and connect us.
Today, that same spirit runs through everything I do, from illustrating and creating new collections to sharing behind the scenes through my YouTube channel, illustrating and writing Children's books, to building the Creative & Curious Club, where workshops and the podcast are designed to help others find their own spark. This is more than my story; it is an invitation to join me in framing your world with creativity, curiosity, and joy.
