🤝 Referring
Thanks for thinking of me, this guide gives you everything you need to make a strong referral or warm intro on my behalf.
Who I Am
Leo is an AI Designer and Founder with 10+ years of experience designing products that ship. She's held lead design roles at Roku, Disney+, Spotify, AminoChain, and Symmetry, spanning TV OS, mobile apps, responsive web, Chrome extensions, and AI interfaces.
Leo operates at the intersection of AI product design, systems thinking, and early-stage company building, equally comfortable designing in Figma, prototyping in code, and presenting to executives.
What I'm Looking For
Top 3 Strengths
Simplifying Complexity in Early Spaces
Led Roku's Homescreen redesign, the platform's most strategically important surface, shipping in 2026. A/B tests averaged a 15–18% increase in streaming hours for OTT content. Previously launched Disney+ in all international markets, leading foundational research, product design, and design systems across mobile, web, and TV.
0→1 Design
Leo's default is early-stage. At AminoChain she was the founding designer, defining brand, product, and design system from Alpha through GA for a B2C biotech marketplace serving 500k specimens. At Symmetry she joined as employee #4 and built the entire product experience in three months. She doesn't just design products, she builds the conditions for them.
Platform Agnostic, AI-Focused
Designed across TV OS, mobile apps, responsive web, Chrome extensions, desktop apps, and AI-native interfaces. Leo moves fluidly between surfaces and constraints, and brings a sharp focus on conversational UI and agent design regardless of the platform. She doesn't just follow where AI is going, she's been designing it.
Unique Value Proposition
Leo is the rare designer who can design the AI chat interface in the morning, prototype it in code by afternoon, and present the business case to the C-suite by EOD. She ships.
Her approach is collaborative and strategic, she brings engineers, PMs, and founders along, not just deliverables. She's worked across TV OS, mobile apps, responsive web, Chrome extensions, and AI-native products. She thinks in systems and outcomes, not just screens.
