Bits and pieces

Small moments, thoughtfully made

Hi, I’m Lea

I’m a product designer based in Chicago. Since 2015, I’ve designed all kinds of things for all kinds of people, across industries, platforms, and stages of the product lifecycle.

I like getting to the root of a problem and understanding what people really need. From the details of how a product looks and feels to how people move through the broader experience, I think about how it all works together. I’m also passionate about building the design systems that bring consistency to the experience and help it scale.

Outside of work, I’m happiest getting outside, exploring somewhere new, cooking something worth sharing, or making things with my hands. And always, a dog person at heart.

Experience

A little bit of everything, by design.

I’ve worked across industries and all kinds of digital experiences, from consumer-facing products to B2B SaaS platforms, at both early-stage startups and established companies.

That variety has taught me to get comfortable with the unfamiliar, ask better questions, and find the right approach for the problem at hand.
