Leah Hennessey is a full-stack designer and lettering artist creating experiences that solve problems and tell stories.
I’m a multi-passionate person: I like being at the crux of product design & development, I spend time considering how humans interact with both the physical and virtual spaces they’re in, I like finding new ways to be a maker, and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished so far.
I am a runner, a cancer survivor, and a mom. I like helping, learning, warm drinks, and my dogs.
Keep moving forward.
– Leah
