LEANNE SHEPEL

I’m a User Experience/Product Designer fueled by curiosity and empathy.

A creative at heart, I spend my spare time geeking out over my passions in design, architecture, culture, and pastry creation. My diverse experiences revolve around what matters to me most: people, creativity, and simplifying products.
