Solving business problems with a people focus, in the tech hub of Estonia.

Laura Leon

I’m passionate about delivering beautiful and convenient solutions, that help grow businesses of any size.

With most of my career spent in building startups, I believe design and design thinking is a market differentiator. Making innovative solutions easier to grasp for investors and complex problems, refreshingly simple.

I aim to create work that respects the privacy and individuality of people and bring that perspective to the spaces I inhabit.

Life’s not just work

I’m the owner of a rough-collie called Cookie, who fancies herself to be a cat.

I’ve been part of the local Chinese dragon and lion dance group for the past 7 years. I love trying new hobbies that push my physical boundaries and getting others to join in.

There’s a reason I’ve stayed in Estonia. The people here are very connected to nature — we know our flora, mushrooms and fauna well and it’s a recharging experience to have nature so nearby.
