Designing for planet impact

I'm a freelance Senior Designer focused on positive environmental change.

I’m Leila

With 9+ years of experience as a designer, my focus is creating positive environmental change, designing across climate tech, nature recovery, and philanthropy.

Exploring the outdoors has given me a deep appreciation for all that our planet gives us, and my connection to nature made me realize it was time to roll up my sleeves and do my part.

That’s why I now partner exclusively with businesses making a positive impact on the planet, supporting them through design.
