Hello, my name is Leah.

I’m a product designer with 12+ years of experience with design roles at Crate & Barrel, Gretel.ai, and U.S. News & World Report, along with several freelance projects.

I think about design the way an architect thinks about a building: structure first, details second. The best solutions aren't just intuitive for the person using them, they work for the team building and maintaining them too. I ask a lot of questions, not to slow things down, but to make sure we're solving the right problem before committing to an answer. The most durable design work is often invisible. Consistency compounds quietly, in both directions.

I do my best work in cross-functional environments where design has a real seat at the table and collaboration is how decisions get made. I'm energized by teams that exchange ideas openly and are invested in getting it right. My passion lies in design systems, process, and the intricate details most people overlook. That's where the craft actually lives.
