Hi there!
I’m Leah, a senior product designer based in SF bay area!
With a double master’s degree in Innovation Design Engineering from the Royal College of Art and Imperial College London, I’ve led design teams across startups, global companies, and industries like VR/AR/MR as well as consumer tech.
My Core Strengths 💪🏻
1. Leadership and Team Empowerment
As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve built and led design and development teams from the ground up to bring products to life. My experience spans multiple companies, where I have successfully assembled design teams and spearheaded global product launches. I excel at guiding teams toward creating impactful solutions and driving innovation at scale.
2. Solving Complex Problems
I thrive in navigating intricate problems, especially when it involves a mix of human behavior and data. Research is my gateway into any problem, allowing me to dive deep into key areas and bring teams together to establish a unified vision and shared goals.
3. Cross-Platform Product Design
My expertise extends to cross-platform product design, including Android, iOS, Web, and AR/VR/MR environments. I understand the importance of creating seamless experiences across multiple platforms, ensuring that users have a consistent and engaging experience, no matter where they interact with the product.
What I do when I am not working?
1. AI Prompt Evaluation & Vibe Coding
Independently experiment with AI prompt evaluation, refining outputs through structured testing and iterative design thinking. Practice vibe coding to rapidly prototype concepts using Cursor and Lovable, exploring new intersections between UX design, AI tooling, and lightweight development workflows.
2. Community Mural Painting
I channel my creativity into community mural painting projects, bringing together art and local culture. It’s a great way to foster collaboration, encourage local engagement, and visually express stories that resonate with the community. Painting allows me to take a break from the digital world and contribute to a shared, physical space.
3. Women In Tech Gathering
I am actively involved in women-in-tech initiatives, where I lead gatherings aimed at empowering women in the technology sector. These meetups focus on mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and creating a supportive environment for women to grow, collaborate, and lead in the tech industry. It's a space for inspiration, networking, and pushing the boundaries of innovation.
