Hi, I'm Leon

I design and prototype inclusive digital products. Welcome to my portfolio! Pick a pathway below.

UX Designer and Researcher

Real projects. Measurable outcomes. See how I transform complex problems into intuitive user experiences that drive business results.

My Approach

I believe great design lives at the intersection of user needs and business goals. Every project begins with deeply understanding users through research to uncover true pain points, and evolves through cross-functional collaboration, iterative design, and rigorous testing. My focus is on delivering solutions that users love and that drive measurable improvements in product performance and business success.

What I Bring

With 10+ years of experience translating user needs into engaging, accessible, and scalable experiences, I leverage research, empathy, and iterative design to drive impactful solutions. I develop cohesive design systems, conduct user research to guide informed decisions, and build prototypes to validate concepts effectively.

Say goodbye to boring eLearning!

Brand-Driven eLearning that inspires your learners.

What makes me different?

I believe in writing learning content that is relatable. No gimmicks. By tapping into the "If I wouldn't do it, I wouldn't ask my learners to do it" mindset I'm skilled in crafting real-world scenarios, relevant content and thought provoking reflective activities. I combine three skillsets to make my learning experiences stand out from the rest.
