I rate Leandro, his work and his deep usability expertise in the top 10 category.

One of his unique skills is to work extremely fluidly with the engineers by proactively doing high-frequency, mini brainstorming sessions with the developers on his team. I highly recommend Leandro as one of the finest UX minds in Australia.

Leandro is a rare designer - one with the talent necessary to deliver the very best design work and the drive to constantly deliver great results. Working with him, he quickly showed he could be trusted to own the whole design process - feeding working into the development team and making sure everything was delivered just as it needed to be.

Hi, I'm Leandro Varanda

I'm a Senior Product Designer with 10+ years in, worked at startups, agencies, and big tech companies in Brazil, Ireland, and Australia, designing web and mobile products from the ground up.

I like working closely with different teams to build stuff people genuinely enjoy using, and that actually helps the business grow. Lately I've been leaning into AI a lot more, using it to speed up and sharpen my own workflow too.
