About me

Hi, I’m Leila. I am a multi-disciplinary designer with 8+ years of experience working in visual, motion, and UX/UI design. Though an east-coaster at heart, I now live in Fort Collins, Colorado. Currently I work as a senior visual designer at Accenture Federal Services—crafting rich, digital experiences for various federal clients.

Outside of work, I love dabbling in interior design, flocking plant nurseries, and going on hikes with my golden retriever—Theo.​
