Nice to meet you!
I’m Leah ⋆𐙚 ̊.
As long as I can remember, I have always had a pencil and a sketchbook in hand, doodling away everything I saw and everything I imagined. As a five-year-old, I was especially curious about the things that didn’t yet exist, dreaming up products meant to help people in small, joyful ways: a flying massage chair–bed for my grandparents, or a magical flavor-changing lollipop that can sustain everyone (a wish per lick, too!). Silly ideas — but even then, I cared deeply about creating with purpose and bringing joy to others.
Coming into college, I realized how my creativity cravings could evolve into thoughtful craft: design that can problem-solve and assist real people. Spaces where imagination and intention can coexist.
Today, my passion lies in creating equitable and beautiful spaces that people can feel understood in.
I’m excited to explore every corner of my creativity, grow through collaboration and feedback, and blend imagination into innovation with the work I will continue to do. I strive to lead with empathy, seek new perspectives, and listen, a little more every day.
