STUDIO ESPINOSA is a renewable resource for art, design and creative development powered by Leo's signature "neocomic" style. Illustrations ranges from avante-guard to ultra funky to whimsical and quirky, and give the studio unparalleled diversity and agility.

Leo Espinosa studied design in Colombia (the country, not the school) and began his career as a mild manner art director who moonlighted as a comic book artist. In 1993, Leo moved to New York and started working as an illustrator. His artwork regularly appeared in The New York Times, Wired, In Style Magazine and many more. In 2003, Leo designed two watches for Swatch, one of which later became their international advertising campaign. Based on that success, Leo joined forces with his wife, Laura to launch Studio Espinosa.

Laura Jaffe Espinosa studied at English and Art at Tufts University and design at SVA. Since she could never could decide between pictures or words she went to work at Saatchi and Saatchi advertising. She rose to the position of creative director before leaving corporate life in 1997 to pursue a variety of freelance design and marketing opportunities.

Since 2004, the husband and wife creative team of Studio Espinosa has created a niche for themselves in publishing, entertainment and licensing as well as building its reputation in fine arts. Their very first partner was Coca-Cola, (who commissioned a co-branded character for merchandising), and went on to include Hasbro (packaging design and identity design), American Greetings (content/character development and identity design), Cookie Jar Entertainment (character development), and Scholastic (content development). They have created, developed and sold original content, the first of which, Sushi Pack, is now an animated series for kids on CBS. Their character designs and artwork was selected to appeared in American Illustration 26 and Pictoplasma - The Character Encyclopedia. The couples first literary collaboration, Otis and Rae and The Grumbling Splunk, a comic-inspired picture book for children, arrives later this spring.
