Leah Stewart

I work at the intersection of luxury design, marketing, and experience, where timeless craftsmanship meets modern storytelling. I have built my career on a foundation of marketing strategy and multimedia production, guided by creativity, precision, and a deep appreciation for the details that transform an experience into something memorable. At Simon Pearce, I lead seasonal go-to-market planning, guiding cross-functional teams through strategic, integrated marketing programs. I translate the brand’s legacy of handmade glass and centuries-old techniques into contemporary marketing that resonates with today’s customer while communicating the value of craftsmanship at a luxury price point. In parallel, I run a Vermont-based event company where I design and produce bespoke celebrations and gatherings. These events reflect the same principles of authenticity, artistry, and understated luxury that guide my work in the design and marketing space. I am originally from Vermont and proudly draw from my Filipino heritage, as well as the years I spent living in Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, and China. These experiences give me a global perspective that informs my work and helps me bridge cultures, aesthetics, and stories. My working knowledge of Spanish, Russian, Cebuano, Tagalog, and Mandarin allows me to connect across languages and communities with nuance and care. When I am not working on go-to-market strategies or designing curated experiences, I find inspiration exploring the natural world. Texture, light, and detail continually spark new ideas. I am passionate about sustainability, community, and the artistry of everyday life. Fun fact: I was chased by a Turkey Vulture weekly for nearly a decade—and once, a Harris’s Hawk delivered my engagement ring. Profile photo + cover by Carrie Burr.
