About Leslie

I'm an accomplished User Experience professional. My experience reaches from such visionary companies as Apple to smaller nimble start ups like Fanminder. I've been an integral part of some fantastic UX teams, but I've also been the sole UX/Visual as well. One thing that is consistent with all my experience is a user-centered approach. I have lots of tools in my toolbox, but the user is always at the core of my thinking.

Superpower

My superpower is my ability to work on the entire UX process. Whether it's doing a heuristic evaluation of the existing product, or creating pixel-perfect screens for engineering, I am your person. I'm not a unicorn - I don't code and I'm not the most amazing marketer - but I can swing the gamut of UX.

Mission

My mission is taking complex challenges and solving with simple experiences. I'm a visual thinker and I always have a pen and blank paper with me. I can see the forest for the trees and love to work out problems in a team setting. At the same time, I'm a heads-down designer who can deliver on time.

Leslie is a true professional at User Experience and Visual Interaction. She produces highly organized, professional quality, clean, creative, thoroughly thought-out, and useful designs in a very timely fashion.

Leslie is a very talented designer, excelling in both user interaction and visual design. Her designs gave the product the lift it needed to stand out from the crowd.

She has built a deep reservoir of UI expertise such that she asks all the right questions of business folk and from users, and is able to translate those findings into very simple and elegant user experiences.

Leslie is an amazing interaction designer. She's really good at taking a lot of (often conflicting) user feedback on how a system should work, and synthesizing the feedback into a best practice UI that does what people need -- in a better way than what was originally asked.
