Best at Verdant Studio@leomartins · Product Designer — complex tools, calm interfaces
Lisbon, Portugal · Prefers Copenhagen · Remote · Available now
About
Designer with a systems habit. I like the products people use for eight hours a day: schedulers, editors, consoles. Twelve years, mostly at companies where design had to earn its seat.

Cartogram · 2021 — Present
Redesigned the operator console used by 22,000 logistics dispatchers.
Senior Designer
Verdant Studio · 2017 — 2021

Self-nominations
Design Lead · Product
Verdant is the only studio I know that treats climate clients as long-term partners instead of campaigns.
“I have four years of unpublished work on operator interfaces I would love to bring back to a studio setting.”
Principal Designer · Editorial Product
Reading experiences are the last place where craft is still visible to the public.
“Give me your archive pages and I will show you what they could be.”
Professional comments
Sofie Lund · Founder, Verdant
Leo can hold a whole system in his head and still argue about a 2px shift. We miss him.
