Xavier Leslie

I’m Xavier, a queer, Tassie-born designer who blends playful experimentation with refined and purposeful communication. I’m drawn to the hands-on side of making, often working with printmaking and xerox scanning to bring texture and life into my work. I have a strong interest in branding and enjoy engaging with many graphic design outputs, particularly publications and packaging.

Cinémathèque | Calander

My approach for the 2026 Melbourne Cinémathèque identity system explores the emotional, sensory, and narrative power of texture in film.
