As Senior Graphic Designer, Jeff Lefors provides creative support to the various divisions of the Indianapolis office with primary focus on commercial brokerage. Jeff’s roles extends behind the more traditional role of graphic design — he also handles printing activity, in-house video editing and 3D graphics/animations, and the occasional photography need.
For the firm’s high-caliber marquee Property Listings, Jeff’s strength in designing custom work for multi-platform campaigns is particularly impactful for the firm’s success. These projects can include fully custom design elements & branding, brochure layout, mapping/aerials, signage, and support advertising. Toward operations efficiency, Jeff produces practical templates, educates staff on best practices, and provides guidance toward branding standards.

As a Marketing Specialist at Colliers Indianapolis, my focus is online marketing – including websites, e-marketing, social media, and additional digital marketing approaches. My knowledge of digital marketing, Microsoft Office, and Adobe Creative Suite allows me to support the Indianapolis marketing team in various ways. I enjoy working within a strong brand and finding new ways to improve our digital marketing efforts.
Prior to joining Colliers, I was a Graphic Designer at MDwise where my role blended both graphic design and online marketing. I developed new marketing efforts and took them from brainstorming, to design, and through implementation. A key accomplishment while there — by leveraging my skills in digital marketing, graphic design, and reputation management, I developed an e-mail campaign that increased their Google review rating from 1.6 stars to 3.6 stars. Similar to my role here at Colliers, I worked with multiple business units on their diverse promotional and communication initiatives.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time outdoors at the various beautiful parks and monuments around Indianapolis.
