Lesia Design and Digital

Based in Vernon, BC, Lesia Design and Digital works with clients across Canada, with team members also based remotely in Kelowna, Saskatoon, Vancouver, Victoria, Burnaby, and Ireland. Founded in 2006 by Lesia Payne, who holds a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Interaction Design and began working in design in 1999, the agency has grown from a solo practice into a team of UX designers, graphic designers, copywriters, SEO specialists, and web developers. Its work centres on non-profit organizations, national charities, healthcare, education, and public service clients, alongside small businesses across diverse industries. Payne has previously worked with organizations including Telus, Hotwire, Electronic Arts, and the University of Saskatchewan. The agency's core services span web development, web design, UX/UI design, search engine optimization, logo and identity design, branding, graphic design, and print design. Its stated approach prioritizes user experience and mobile-responsive design, with an emphasis on understanding customer needs before building site structure or visual style. Websites are built on established content management systems chosen for ease of client-side updates rather than newer or less-tested platforms. The agency also offers a Squarespace discount, an extended Squarespace trial, and self-directed DIY Squarespace courses for clients who want to manage their own sites. Client engagements are structured around direct, ongoing access to the founder rather than account-based handoffs, and the team is described as composed of senior professionals with over 15 years of experience in their respective fields, working remotely to keep overhead—and client fees—lower.
