About me

Hey, I’m Leonardo Siqueira.


I've been designing since 2020. I started my journey with branding, but I felt something was missing. Therefore, in 2023, I gravitated towards UX Design.


I was fascinated by the idea of making everyday products intuitive, enjoyable, and – the icing on the cake – how they could connect with strong branding and a powerful purpose.


And here I am.

My approach

My design principles encompass clarity, simplicity and consistency, as I believe they are essential for interacting with people and establishing an emotional connection with them.


As a result, my design process involves a constant search for purpose and usability, through iteration and data-driven decisions.

Why UX + Branding matters

Branding is a promise to your customer, indicating what to expect and how you will look, speak, and act. Interactions with any touchpoint, including digital products, can reinforce or weaken user perceptions. Positive digital experiences are crucial to a brand’s reputation.


For example, a frustrating website suggests a company doesn’t care about the user, harming your perceived value. Conversely, a great website experience fosters a positive association with the brand.


Therefore, the effectiveness of the UX will, more often than not, decide whether they want to keep interacting with you in the future.

This website is so confusing I wasn’t even able to find what I wanted! I’m never coming back!
