Rocio Leon
@rocioleon
Senior UX/UI with 10 years in UX and product design, taking products from research to build: accessible end-to-end journeys and design systems.
What I'm looking for
My work spans UX research, design systems, accessibility and implementation, including building websites in Webflow. I’m moving into product design and want to bring responsible, trauma-informed practice to wellbeing, health, or mental health products.
At Netro42, I led web design projects from discovery through launch for SME clients. I redesigned an insurance quote journey through payment and confirmation, and built the agency’s shared UI system, which development adopted for live delivery.
At the Responsible Design for Change Fellowship with UX for Change, I led three individual contributors through a 12-week responsible design process for Pillow, a technology and community platform supporting domestic violence survivors. I also continued volunteering with Pillow after the fellowship.
Through my self-initiated ArtFlow Project, I facilitate mindfulness-based creative sessions for adults and am researching whether this practice can be delivered online without harm. My art therapy training is at CPD level; I’m not HCPC-registered and don’t work clinically.
