About

Nice to meet you! I'm Leah.

My career path has been anything but linear, but every chapter has shaped how I approach design today. Before college, much of my time was spent building my design portfolio and honing my craft, which eventually led me to Art Center College of Design where I majored in Product Design. My foundation there has shaped the way I think about problem-solving, form, and function.

Over time, I went on to build a career in legal operations. That experience sharpened skills that deeply influence how I design today: navigating complexity, organizing systems, thinking critically, advocating for people, and paying close attention to detail. It taught me how to balance structure with adaptability and how to approach challenges with empathy and precision.

Even through that chapter, design never left. Now, I've made my way back to my first creative passion.

As a designer, I'm adaptable, analytical, and deeply empathetic. I care about creating experiences that not only look beautiful but work beautifully. I believe the best design starts with understanding people, and every decision I make is grounded in research, guided by function, and centered around the user.

Let's create something meaningful.
