Leena Lam

About Me: Hello, I’m Leena, a fellow human and designer in constant awe of the world, telling the stories of past, present, and future, stories of the mundane or peculiar, stories that make a person move and feel. I design for fellow humans like you and me. When I’m not designing, you can find me dabbling or admiring other ways of expression. My many hobbies include listening to a musical, jewelry-making, partaking in new foods, baking shareable desserts, relaxing with a hot cup of tea, or watching the new seasonal anime. Even when I’m not a workaholic, I feel the need to keep busy somehow; there’s just so much to do in this little, precious life of mine.

What’s something that is always on your work desk? "My Neighbor," Totoro's music box is always on my desk even from moving from place to place. It was a birthday present during my freshman year of university and has always given me solace whenever I was overwhelmed or needed to pause life for a moment. I would play it from time to time when I needed a comforting break, and occasionally, I still do. Work is important, but it also took me a long time to figure out that breaks are equally important.
