Leah Ulibarri is a New Mexico–based Makeup & Hair Artist with over two years of experience, blending her lifelong love for beauty with more than a decade of marketing expertise. After 11 years spent helping other businesses bring their visions to life, she stepped into entrepreneurship herself—launching Glam By Leah Jorden, a brand rooted in beauty, confidence, and community. Since earning her makeup artist certification, she has styled clients for weddings, maternity shoots, homecoming and prom, quinceañeras, special events, and more, helping women and young women feel their most beautiful on their most meaningful days.

Proudly connected to her roots, Leah is the daughter, granddaughter, niece, and cousin of a large Santa Rosa, NM family known for their strong work ethic and big dreams. With generations of relatives who have built successful careers—and several who have honorably served in the Army and Navy—she carries forward the values of dedication, resilience, and cultural pride that shaped her upbringing in New Mexico.

In 2013, after graduating from V. Sue Cleveland Highschool in Rio Rancho, Leah moved to Phoenix, AZ to pursue her passion for fashion and design. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Fashion Marketing with a minor in Graphic Design from the Art Institutes of Phoenix. Over the next 10 years, she built a diverse career in marketing and design—first in the fashion industry directing shows and supporting brands like Dillard’s, small boutiques, and nonprofits, and later in digital marketing at a Scottsdale agency serving clients in health and wellness, aesthetics, real estate, law, aviation, retail pop-ups, and more.

Today, Leah works as a full-time Integrated Marketing Lead & Graphic Designer, developing campaign strategies, branding, marketing and analytics for an Arizona financial institution she has helped grow for eight years. Working remotely from Rio Rancho since returning home in 2020, she enjoys the balance of contributing to her team while being close to family, with opportunities to travel back to Phoenix - keeping her routes within the Southwest.

A devoted mother to two little girls, a seasoned marketer, and a growing entrepreneur, Leah continues to merge her passions for beauty, creativity, and community. Glam By Leah Jorden is only the beginning of her expanding journey in business and service.
