Introduced bulk document creation to HR software
Helped scale the document distribution from 1-to-1 to 1-to-many, giving the ability for our users to create multiple documents from one single flow.
Hi there! My name is Leyla. I’m a product designer based in Dublin, Ireland.
I've been working as a designer for the past 5+ years in both B2C and B2B industries. Currently, I'm a senior product designer at Personio, leading the design for the Document Management product – think bulk management, templating, automation, workflows, the exciting stuff!
My design philosophy seeks to innovate without unnecessary complexity, aiming for delightful and intuitive experiences. I love the analytical and experimental aspects of my work. I also enjoy mentoring; I've guided high schoolers, junior designers and those transitioning to design in their journeys.
I'm pretty into cyberpsychology, exploring the core psychology behind how people interact with interfaces and technologies. This curiosity shapes my design approach, aiming for a blend of creativity and a deep understanding of user behaviour.
