About Me

Hey! My name is Leah and I'm a junior in the Industrial Design program at Western Washington University, driven by a lifelong passion for the outdoors. From backcountry skiing and mountain biking to sailing the San Juans and skateboarding around town, I'm constantly observing how products perform in the real world — and imagining how they could be better.

That curiosity shapes my approach to design. I'm drawn to creating gear that balances durability, sustainability, and usability — products built to withstand harsh environments without adding to their impact. My goal is to design resilient, meaningful equipment that empowers people to explore the places that inspire them.
