Experience
Design Leader

📍 Seattle, WA

I earned a BFA in Graphic Design in 2015 and began my career in branding and advertising before pivoting into product design for software. As my work evolved, I became increasingly drawn to the systems behind great design — how teams collaborate, how decisions connect to outcomes, and how intentional leadership elevates the work. That progression naturally led me into management.

As a leader and as a designer, I believe that ideas have real value when they are connected to a purpose that benefits people. The team’s goals become my goals. Whether the focus is contributing to the business bottom line, navigating a complex project, or stewarding someone’s next career step, I show up as a partner and champion.

My zone of genius is galvanizing cross-functional teams to work together and see a project through to the end. I do this by building strategic relationships, identifying opportunities to enhance our team’s efficiency and effectiveness, and championing the end user’s experience — because aligned teams multiply impact.

Plus, I have a demonstrated ability to grind when it’s time. As a long-distance runner, I’m no stranger to enduring the pain cave. Ask me about my self-organized, four-day ultra marathon event around Mt. Rainier.

“Working with Lexa was such a joy! She listened to our ideas on branding and created beautiful vision boards to help us narrow down our colors, fonts, and overall “vibes.” She was timely and professional. She made something I am very proud of that represents my company.”
