About Me
I’m Sameeha Bricklemyer, the graphic designer behind The Inked Leaf. I’m a first-generation American, born to Sri Lankan immigrant parents, and a proud mother to two incredible daughters. I’ve always had a passion for art, and after earning my BA in Visual Arts from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in 2009, I dove into the world of graphic design. It was at UMBC that I met my amazing husband, Ryan, who’s been my biggest supporter. When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me listening to a good audiobook, cooking a recipe I found on Pinterest, or exploring new places with my family.
Every design I create is personal—whether it’s for a new business, a custom commission, or a branding update. I believe in the power of creativity to tell a story, and I’m committed to helping my clients bring their visions to life. My goal is to make sure you love the designs we create together.

The Story of The Inked Leaf
In 2012, I set out on a creative journey to help small businesses make their mark. The name The Inked Leaf was inspired by the very beginning of my process — an ink pen and a leaf of paper. I’ve always started my designs with these tools, sketching out ideas by hand before turning them into something bigger. Whether it’s a logo, branding concept, or custom commission, I still hand-draw many of my initial designs because there's something special about the personal touch of ink on paper.
Throughout the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing small businesses, helping them bring their visions to life. My goal has always been simple: to make sure every client is 100% happy with their final design. That’s why I offer a satisfaction guarantee, ensuring that each piece we create together is something you’ll love. The Inked Leaf isn’t just a name; it’s a reflection of my passion for crafting meaningful, thoughtful designs that leave a lasting impression.
