About Leigha Miceli

Senior Product Designer at Chatbooks

Senior Product Designer with 9 years of experience and a psychology background — self-taught, systems-thinker, and someone who genuinely loves the craft.

I've spent most of my career at the intersection of design, behavior, and business outcomes — building subscription systems, retention flows, and consumer products that ship and move numbers. I work fast, ask the right questions early, and care deeply about the work at every stage.

Outside of design I'm a traveler, a food obsessive, and someone who will always have a strong opinion about where you should eat. I'm also constantly building things — currently a travel app, because nothing out there organized trips the way my brain does.

I mentor because I know what it's like to figure this out mostly alone. If you're early in your career or trying to level up, I'm happy to help.

What mentees say

“Leigha and I talked about the transition from a bootcamp to a career in UX/UI, including skill gaps, portfolio review, and interview advice. She was very encouraging and even recommended resources to check out to learn more about specific design topics.”

“I talked to Leigha about my portfolio and the UI/UX projects I've done so far. She interpreted my work in a very clear way, and gave me tips on what to do. While she is encouraging me about my new career, she also gave me some inside tips from the industry about what I should expect to see. Our meeting was very useful for me.”
