Meet the Crew

  • Ashleigh Leon

    Co-owner + Creative Director

    Ashleigh’s biggest desire is to create something that inspires others to pursue their dreams. With a background in design and screen-printing, Ashleigh is the creative workhorse for The Side Garage.

  • Elena Leon

    Co-owner + Problem Solver

    An Iowa and West Des Moines native, Elena is the reason The Side Garage goes off without a hitch. Her problem solving and idea creating skills are unmatched.

  • Mikey

    Pre + Post Production Guru

    Mikey joined our team to help keep the screens prepped and ready. He is on the board with Bras for the Cause and has a background in Marketing and big ideas.

  • Thulee

    HR Director

    Thulee keeps everyone in line - especially UPS, FedEx and anyone that knocks on our door. When she's not assuming the position of work patrol, you can find her taking a nap or wrestling with Odie.

  • Lua Leon

    Printing Apprentice + Shop Manager

    Lua joined our crew on November 3, 2021. She’s always eager to lend a hand - “big helper” as she likes to put it. We’re working on her folding skills but where she really excels is customer relations and dishing out smiles.

  • Odie

    HR Intern

    Down for belly rubs and chill vibes, Odie is fitting in nicely as our latest HR addition.
