Hi, I'm Leon
I bring over a decade of experience in public education to the world of design.
I believe great design—like great teaching—should be equitable, inclusive, and human-centered. My background has equipped me with the ability to work collaboratively to solve real-world problems through practical design solutions that keep users as the focus.
Outside of work, I'm passionate about art, skateboarding and eating the best cuisines the world has to offer with my family and friends.
Let's create something amazing together. Hit me up!
My Journey
The wave I rode into teaching led me to UX/UI. As a remote teacher during the COVID-19 Pandemic, I became deeply immersed in education technology, sparking my passion for designing human-centered experiences for students.
