E.Y.E GlobalAbout
Hi, I'm Leonardo.
Senior Product Designer with 5 years across Italy and New York, shaping complex, data-heavy products in AI, health, sport tech, fintech, automotive and legal tech.
I start with people, not screens, and I take my work from Figma to a working front-end, so there's no gap between the idea and the product that ships.
My vision
“Human-centered design isn't a methodology for me. It's the only way I know to reach both business and design goals.”
(01) Method
Business first. People always.
An entrepreneurial, proactive mind: I always look for how to do it better, and where to innovate.
Good product design is a bet on value. I make that bet explicit, so every screen traces back to a user need and a business outcome.
- Business Revenue, retention, cost to serve. Which number has to move?
- People Real jobs, real friction. What would make this obvious?
- Technology Data, constraints, effort. What can we ship and learn from soon?
(02) Path
Design, business, and everything in between.
