west & ease is a collection of stories, sounds, knowledge, visuals, and “creative” work.

I’m Leslie, and I’ve always been fascinated by how we interpret the world.

Through west & ease:

• I host Conversations, where alongside my guests, we explore themes such as the creative process and identity.

• I share Voice Notes, a series of personal thoughts and anecdotes where I share questions and answers that I hope to explore with myself and others.
