UX Design & Strategy

Weather it’s traditional UX design and methodologies, or mapping out a set of actions to reach a future state, I can help set vision, define goals & metrics, plan and execute.

Research & Design Discovery

Have a new set of features or a big request but need to make sure you’re building the right thing? A design discovery will help you make sure you are solving the right problems and align your team around a common goal.

UX Workshop Facilitation

Need to run some productive, collaborative sessions with stakeholders and other key team members? I can help plan and lead effective workshops that bring alignment in teams and reach the objectives you need to move projects along.

UI & Visual Design

I have extensive experience in UI & Visual Design and have worked with multiple fortune 500 brands to create beautiful, high-end experiences.

Prototyping & User Testing

Need to get feedback on a design and implement feedback quickly? I have experience prototyping in a range of fidelities and am very comfortable recruiting and speaking to users.

Development

My development parters are up for practically any task! And if not, we can help match you with the right developer for your project.

Kelsey Smith, Director of Product Design, Charter Communications

“2023 was the year that Lesley became more than just an expert and strategic director on a few platforms, but also specialized in a role that helped connect my entire team to a more refined, sophisticated and strategic product design process.

As an active contributor on the Design Strategy Team, Lesley provided discovery efforts to de-risk projects, frame problems, get stakeholder alignment, and ensure that my team is pursuing problems that solve long-term business goals and hit well defined project metrics. 

Recognizing her potential, I supported her professional growth by providing access to advanced training. She quickly applied these new skills, effectively facilitating alignment workshops with stakeholders and cross-functional teams. Lesley's skills and approach make her an outstanding asset to any product design team.”
