I’m Leila Akberdin—a design researcher and UX/UI designer driven by a deep curiosity about people and the systems they navigate. I have 5+ years of experience driving consumer-centered product innovation across physical and digital platforms, with expertise spanning qualitative methods (ethnography, usability, interviews) and quantitative methods (surveys, UserZoom, Qualtrics). I partner with product, design, and strategy teams to shape offerings in healthcare, finance, and consumer tech, including B2B and B2C platforms. I translate research into clear design direction and business outcomes, thriving in both regulated environments and fast-moving contexts.
I collaborate across disciplines to develop end-to-end experiences and robust design systems, and I enjoy turning complex user insights into practical, testable design strategies that teams can implement quickly and effectively.

Industry Experience
- Create a new communication product that leverages an omnichannel communication approach.
- Take product from ideation to implementation.
- A new navigation tool projected to save $29,200 per year. This tool streamlines health insurance navigation by cutting down wasted time, freeing up support staff for higher-priority needs, and giving members easier, more consistent access across channels. By teaching key terms, integrating seamlessly with existing systems, and fostering a sense of care, it supports a clear path toward a fully omnichannel experience.
In 2020, I collaborated on developing a communication product for a health insurance navigation company, designing an omnichannel solution that streamlined interactions across digital and human touchpoints to make health benefits easier to understand and engage with. The following is the final presentation, with some content blurred for confidentiality.
