Keri Dennison-Leidecker (she/her) is a radical introvert and a fearless observer. As an interdisciplinary graphic designer, photographer, and design educator, her work weaves together community-engaged learning, visual storytelling, and an aesthetic shaped by nature, skateboarding culture, and a keen eye for subtle beauty.

Her MFA thesis at Vermont College of Fine Arts explored designing space for introverts in working and learning environments. True to that work, she has devoted much of her career to community, serving on the board of Riverzedge Arts and collaborating with organizations including City Arts, RIOT, and RHDRI. She is a Senior Graphic Designer for Calstart, teaches art and design at Roger Williams University, and has done freelance work for the Chill Foundation, Youth Pride Inc., and others. Her work has been featured in Hunger Mountain Review, Providence Monthly, and on WJAR.

Through her teaching, she connects students with nonprofit and community partners, exploring how design education can produce work that genuinely serves the organizations it touches and prepares emerging designers to see mission-driven work as a meaningful career path. She also leads an immersive study abroad program bringing students into cross-cultural design experiences in Japan.

A lifelong resident of New England, she spends as much time as possible hiking and running around in the woods, but she always returns home to her ever-growing pack of senior rescue dogs.
