Hi,

MY NAME IS LAYLA,
a product designer at

bazaarvoice.

I’ve been engaged in impactful design work with brand identities, public agencies, B2B products, and related creative efforts as a user-centered designer for 9+years. I am a creative problem solver who devises solutions by effectively collaborating with internal and external stakeholders across business lines.

Over the years, I've designed for various platforms, spanning both mobile and web. My main goal has been to simplify complexity, whether it's crafting interfaces for ML-driven data, building analytics dashboards, or developing design systems. I am seeking to deepen my engagement with user-centered design principles.

a bit more about me!

Squirrel Rehab volunteer to help orphaned squirrels and have been involved in a network with other local rehabbers for the past 3 years. Even though I can’t keep them as pets, I help them until they become adults and help them transition into the wild.

I once participated in a Canstruction competition where my team and I constructed 'Easter Island' using 5640 cans.

I'm collecting Pokémon cards, striving to complete my collection with rare and coveted cards.

I designed the Coca-Cola Roxy Mural at Atlanta Braves' Stadium. The installation work began on a 200-foot-long by 20-foot-tall mural, paying homage to the typography and illustrations of timeless Roxy posters from their archive, featuring different musical artists.
