Hello, my name is
Leanne DaCosta
I’m a Principal-level Product Designer with 20+ years of experience spanning industrial design, branding, licensing, and digital product design. My multidisciplinary background gives me a systems-thinking approach to solving complex problems and creating thoughtful user experiences across physical and digital products.
​
Over the course of my career, I’ve led end-to-end design for web and mobile products, partnering closely with product and engineering teams to shape solutions in complex, high-stakes environments. I’m comfortable working strategically and hands-on — helping define product direction, facilitate alignment, mentor designers, and contribute directly to execution.
​
My experience across branding and licensing has strengthened my ability to create cohesive, scalable experiences that support both user needs and business goals. I’m especially motivated by opportunities to influence product strategy, elevate design quality, and contribute as a trusted design leader within collaborative teams.
All of my art has consisted of cutting away what other people would add.
