I'm Leyla Ertem, a London-based Senior Product Designer
I’ve always been drawn to work that sits between logic and creativity, which is probably why design felt like the right fit for me. I enjoy understanding how people think, finding patterns in complexity, and shaping products that feel clearer and easier to use.
My background in computer engineering gave me a strong technical foundation, and my design experience has taught me how to balance user needs, business goals, and practical constraints. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve worked on digital products and workflows that support people in doing complex work more smoothly and confidently.
Outside work, I enjoy dancing, drawing, exploring cafés, and decorating my planner.
