Hello! I’m Layla (she/her) and I’m a designer and design researcher from San Francisco, CA.
Currently working @ Dataro as a Product Designer
I care deeply about design justice and view design as a powerful tool in shaping the relationship between humans and technology. I study and practice how to prioritize user safety, intersectionality, harm prevention, worker’s rights, accessibility, and class consciousness through liberatory design in all realms of technology. I challenge existing notions of inclusive design, human-centered design, and product equity and encourage myself and others to interrogate impact of capitalism and colonization in the development and design of technology.
