Designing color, material, and surface systems with intention.
CMF and surface design for consumer products and product systems, grounded in user-centered experiences.
Creativity is the
way I share my soul
with the world.

About Me
Hi, I’m Leslie. I’m drawn to design that brings clarity to complex ideas—where a clear point of view and a bit of structure create space to explore and experiment.
My work blends CMF strategy, surface and pattern design, and visual systems, with a hands-on, curious approach. I enjoy playing with color, material, and finish to shape how products feel and function, and I’m always expanding my creative lens—finding new ways to express ideas while building intuitive, adaptable design systems grounded in real-world use.

Creative Ventures
A space for continuous exploration, personal projects, and small-batch material studies. This is where I experiment with form, color theory, and tactile mediums outside the traditional consumer electronics landscape—translating design principles into physical objects and creative experiments.
A glance into current independent investigations. Slides 1–4 track The Library Project, an exploration into spatial harmony and intentional atmospheres, tracing how simple layout sketches can develop into a comforting, community-focused environment. Slides 5–6 look at small-batch form and color pairing concepts for The Bird Beads.
