How can we become better designers and be more intentional in our impact?

I had the tremendous privilege of building my career with the guidance of empathetic and supportive mentors. This journey nurtured my passion for education and my mission to give back to the community.

Drawing from my experience as a design leader, I offer mentoring sessions for designers seeking direction in their careers, boost team collaboration and create sustainable, impactful products.

Testimonials

"I had a profound experience working with Leandro. Rather than just questions and answers, we had actual conversation about design, career, and life. Leandro got a deep well of experience and wisdom, and I felt the questions he ask and his observations inspired me to think differently about myself (how I present self/process/experience etc) Highly recommend booking a session with Leandro if you have a chance."

"The session with Leandro was very insightful! He knows how to listen, quickly understands what's troubling me, and gives amazing advice. We mostly talked about setting priorities as a Junior Designer, and he showed me a few great techniques on how to recognise the value and apply it in my work and progress tracking. He is very knowledgeable and professional, but at the same time easygoing and enjoyable to talk to!"
