“By day, I’m art directing and designing websites, ad campaigns and corporate identities. By evening or whenever I feel like it, I’m time-roving to reimagine radios, clocks and clock radios. I love to explore, to pioneer physical mash-ups for listening or viewing pleasure.”
– Leigh Brooks, Founder/Maker of Xylochrome.
I’m a maker/art director/designer in Portland, Oregon. I founded Xylochrome as an outlet for real-world creations. Most of my other work lives “under glass” in the digital space.
Being able to touch and feel a real object is very satisfying. Xylochrome combines my love of mid-century design, woodworking, metal working and vintage electronics and automobiles. I’ve found this passion is contagious.
