What It Is

Leanne Macaspac's Studio is the personal studio of Leanne Macaspac, an independent designer, illustrator, and low-code developer based in Toronto. The site showcases her services in product design, website design/development, illustration, and offline experience design for SaaS companies, enterprise clients, small brands, community projects, and e-commerce brands. She has more than 10 years of experience in software and web design, with a background that includes Shopify, Konrad Group, and enterprise-level project experience involving clients such as Deloitte, GreatWest Life, Diageo, and PC Financial.

Core Capabilities

The studio’s strongest offerings are digital product work and lightweight website builds. Its software design services cover product strategy, UX research, user flows, Figma or Framer prototypes, product roadmaps, usability testing, and research synthesis, making them suitable for early-stage validation from idea to MVP. On the website side, the emphasis is on simplicity, speed, functionality, aesthetics, and accessibility. She can work with HTML/CSS and vanilla JavaScript, and is also familiar with Webflow, Framer, Squarespace, Super.so, and Shopify. Illustration services include social media graphics, print materials, murals, and brand mascots, with a style influenced by anime, graffiti, and isometric pop art. Experience design is supported through the Recess team, covering art markets, creative workshops, brand activations, and art installations.

Pricing and Delivery

Pricing is disclosed relatively clearly: software design starts at USD 10,000, with a 4–6 week timeline, and at least 3 months of fractional or freelance collaboration is also available; website design/development starts at USD 2,000 and takes 2–3 weeks; illustration starts at USD 2,000 and takes 1–2 weeks; experience design starts at USD 5,000 and takes 1–2 months. The site does not specify payment methods, milestone schedules, revision rounds, copyright transfer terms, or maintenance support, so these should be confirmed by email before any commercial purchase.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is a strong cross-disciplinary mix of product thinking, technical implementation, illustration, and community experience design. She is also familiar with the Shopify ecosystem and design system workflows, making the studio a good fit for integrated projects that need to move from strategy to visuals to execution. Starting prices and timelines are clearly listed, which helps with initial budget planning. The limitations are also obvious: the page states that she is booked until 2026, so short-term availability is almost nonexistent; as a personal studio, capacity is limited; and legal licensing, copyright ownership, after-sales SLA, and payment methods are not publicly disclosed.

Who It’s For and Access from China

This studio is better suited to overseas startups, small brands, Shopify merchants, independent creative projects, and community event organizers that want to build a strong visual identity. It is not a good fit for users looking for standardized online design tools or ready-made templates with instant delivery. Access from China cannot be determined from the page content alone. Domestic alternatives can be chosen based on the need: for collaborative design, options include 即时设计, Pixso, MasterGo, and 蓝湖; for custom implementation, consider local independent designers, Webflow/Framer agencies, or Shopify site-building service providers.
