I work across brand and product, so how something looks and how it works come from the same place.

About Me

I'm Leo Battiste, a product designer based in Florida. Born and raised in Haiti, I've always been curious about how things work, why they're made the way they are, and how they could be better. That curiosity eventually led me to design, technology, and a passion for turning ideas into something useful and meaningful.

My interest in design goes beyond how things look. I enjoy understanding how people interact with products, identifying problems, and finding simple, thoughtful ways to solve them. I believe good design should feel natural, be accessible, and make people's lives a little easier. Whether I'm working on a website, a digital platform, or exploring a new concept, I try to approach every project with curiosity, intention, and attention to detail.

Outside of design, I have a strong interest in photography, film, music, and visual storytelling. These interests have shaped the way I see the world and often influence how I approach my creative work. I also enjoy entrepreneurship and building independent projects, particularly those that create opportunities, support communities, and bring people together.

I'm constantly learning, experimenting, and finding new ways to grow, both personally and professionally. I don't believe creativity has to be limited to one discipline, and I enjoy exploring different interests and seeing where they lead.

This website is a collection of what I do and what interests me. You can explore my Work to see projects I've created, visit my Journal for thoughts, experiences, and things I've learned along the way, or browse my Toolbox for tools and resources I use and recommend.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm always open to new ideas, conversations, and opportunities to collaborate.
