A portrait of me smiling.

Olá, I'm Leo. I solve problems, design systems, and tell awkward jokes.

Who am I?

My mom My peers say I'm a passionate and empathic designer, captivated by design advocacy and systemic thinking, always looking for ways to make experiences more inclusive. I get a kick out of solving problems and figuring out smart, simple ways to tackle design challenges.

Btw, as a full-time nerd, I'd love to talk about anything fantasy and sci-fi related 🤖(I'm currently learning how to paint miniatures!)

What have I done?

Here are some things I've done in the past*:

*I’d be happy to show more of my work during a call!

What else can I do?

The honesty disclaimer: I feel a bit awkward listing all the things and skills I know. Firstly because I can't remember *everything* I know about design; Second, because I don't want this list to be finite. I learn new things all the time, I use new tools often, and I also frequently forget stuff (taking notes ftw!).

Nonetheless, here's a non-exhaustive, always updating, and ever-incomplete list of things I can do:

Design: Design Systems strategy, design tokens, Style Dictionary, Wireframing, Figma prototyping, Customer journey maps, Workshop facilitating, User stories, Product design, Information architecture, User flows, WCAG, Design thinking

Visual: UI design, Illustrator

Programming: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python, APIs/JSON

Creative coding: Three.js, p5.js, Arduino

Where can I be reached?

You can usually find me playing games at home or running around The Hague. There are easier (and less tiring) ways to get in touch with me, though:
