About

Hey there,  
I'm Leslie.

I've been a designer for nine years, working with companies like Microsoft, Expedia, AT&T, and Carmax. But I've been writing and taking photos far longer than that. Visual thinking and storytelling have been part of my life since I had pigtails.

MORE ABOUT ME

I wrote my first novel in 7th grade. Yes, it's terrible. I stand by none of it. And I received my first camera, a 110, when I was seven. I've been framing my world through a pen and a lens ever since.

Somewhere along the way the writing and the picture-taking merged into the same design impulse. And that's what I bring to product design. I sweat the copy as much as the layout.

My all-time favorite video game is The Witcher 3

Seriously, you should stop reading right now and go play it. But afterwards, come back and finish learning about me.

I quote movies. A lot.

And I quote Flash Gordon even more. Consider yourself warned. 


North and South > Pride and Prejudice

Feel free to fight me on this over coffee. My treat.


I design in song lyrics

If I have to use placeholder content, I pick lyrics that say exactly what the real words should be communicating.

Photographs

From my first camera to my beloved Twin Lens Reflex, I love cameras. And in a very digital world, I long for film photography. I especially miss the smell and the quiet calm of darkrooms. A few recent digital frames I'm fond of:

Intentional camera movement
Abstract
Almost-abstraction at blue hour

Let's create something amazing

I'm open to senior and lead product design roles, product management positions, and to selective collaborations.
