Leland is the executive creative director and founding partner of Collins, in New York, New York. His work focuses on accelerating brand growth through story-driven design.

In addition to designing experiences, Leland also develops and publishes new thinking in the emerging field of mass collaboration. Clients of Collins Include Mattel, Spotify, Coca-Cola, Microsoft and others.
Leland was selected by Campaign magazine as a Global 30 Under 30.
A sought–out speaker on brands, design, and the future of business, Leland frequently speaks across the globe and is a faculty member of the School of Visual Arts MFA program, teaching “Designing Interactions” and “Designer as Entrepreneur.” He is also a board member of the AIGA/NY.
