About

I'm Lea, a product designer based in Chicago with over ten years of experience and a background in visual design.

At the intersection of creativity and logic, I design with empathy, build scalable design systems, and streamline workflows. My growing frontend development skills help me bridge the gap between design and technical execution, ensuring that my solutions are as intuitive and impactful as they are technically sound.

My best days are filled with delicious food, long walks in the sun, quality time with loved ones, and the loyal companionship of my dog, who teaches me the joys of unconditional love.

It's me!

My dog, Ollie (Bear)

Experience

I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients—from small brands to startups and established corporations. Whether collaborating independently or as part of a team, I’ve tackled challenges across industries like e-commerce, restaurants, fintech, and manufacturing, crafting intuitive, user-first experiences.
