Jen Leach

Creative Director – EDGE. Design & Fit-Out

As Creative Director at EDGE. Design & Fit-Out, I lead the creative vision across all our projects — ensuring every space we deliver is both functional and visually compelling. With a background in interior architecture and over a decade of experience in the fit-out industry, I’m passionate about creating environments that not only look great but truly work for the people who use them.

My experience spans a wide range of sectors, including workplace, hospitality, and education, with a strong focus on sustainable design, materiality, and long-term usability. I work closely with clients to fully understand their vision and needs, and I collaborate with our project managers and on-site teams to ensure that every design is delivered with precision and intent.

Alongside my commercial work, I spent six years as a university lecturer at both the University of Huddersfield and the University of Salford. During that time, I mentored and guided emerging design talent — something I’m still deeply passionate about. Supporting the next generation of designers continues to inform my approach and keeps me connected to new ideas and perspectives within the industry.

For me, great design is always about more than just aesthetics — it's about creating spaces that inspire, perform, and stand the test of time.
