Leonardo Leon
Product Designer & Design System Enthusiast
I am a Product Designer based in Miami with 12 years of experience in the design industry. I focus on user interface, user experience, and brand identity. I love collaboration and bringing creative and strategic approaches to the team. Design decisions should always be based on user needs and business objectives.
I enjoy front-end development, and this skill has allowed me to work in different phases of the product development cycle. I am also very passionate about minimalist design, typography, and technology.
