About Leo

Product designer.

Global citizen. Design system builder.

Hi, I’m Leo, a Product Designer with 8+ years of professional UI and UX experience. I initially spent time working in Customer Support, QA, and Front End Development. I'm passionate about using design to make technology work for people. People should not be working for technology.

I’m currently spending time with family and friends in my home state of New York while I search for my next career opportunity. Throughout my life, I’ve lived in several countries including America, Australia, Italy, Portugal, United Kingdom, and Croatia. Traveling helps me grow as a person and as a global citizen. If I’m not pushing my boundaries I’m not growing.

Humanity continues to face many challenges in 2024. Technology should empower us to solve the BIG problems—not get in our way with a thousand small problems. Let's work together to build more delightful and intuitive digital products so we can all live happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives!

The secret to an insanely great user experience isn't a secret: understand users. Establish empathy. Design before you code. Research before you design.
