Lea is a very animated and knowledgeable speaker.

I found Lea's series of Self Branding articles incredibly helpful. I used her worksheet and suggestions to come up with my own brand for my web and graphic design company, and I think this series would be amazing as a panel. Lea definitely knows what she's talking about and she is so passionate about what she does that no one in attendance would regret taking the time to see what she has to say.

Lea's article series was instrumental in helping me to brand myself this year. Her helpful suggestions from the articles guided me to think through what personality my brand would have. She even provided some one-on-one interaction by commenting on my process, which I think demonstrates her passion for sharing knowledge and helping others along. Even though I've finalized my own brand and logo, I'd *still* want to attend her panel to see what else she has to say!

Lea is very outgoing and personable. She is passionate about her work and will strive to make her panel exciting and full of useful information.

great topic! and something many of us have to think about, whether self-employed or not.

Lea has done an excellent job of building a successful and creative business from scratch and establishing an international client base. Her expertise will be particularly valuable to up-and-coming entrepreneurs seeking to develop their own catchy, high-quality brand.

Just to let everyone know, I'm also doing a similar panel for Future of Web Design in November 7-8, 2007. Also, thank you everyone who has voted and commented. Your support means a lot. :-)

I also discovered Lea's branding series on her blog and found it thoughtful, well-reasoned and useful. And since I'm going through a new-company launch and rebrand myself at the moment, I find myself referring to it a lot! I think SXSW-ers would really benefit from this presentation.

I'd love to see this panel happen. Go LeaLea!
