Her leadership led to a group of talented designers who support each other in a safe space while striving for the best outcomes. She was always available to talk to me and went the extra mile to provide support.

Diana Padron

Senior Product Designer, Material

Lea was a wonderful and highly effective design leader to work with. She brought new rigor and excellence to the visual design practice while taking the time to personally mentor and grow the individual people on her design team. I've seen that Lea gives her reports hands-on coaching, methodologies, and opportunities to shine, enabling them to level up in their careers.
