Hi, I’m Leandro — a Filipino-Canadian product designer based in Berlin, currently at Vinted. I care about making digital products feel simple and human. Outside of work, you’ll find me enjoying good food and good company.

Currently a Staff Product Designer at Vinted, designing the marketplace experience. I help scale the platform into new verticals, extending Vinted beyond fashion.

At VEED.IO, I led design for the mobile app (0→1), helping the product reach $1M ARR in 6 months. I also designed AI-powered tools — from Text-to-Video and Auto Zoom to Dubbing and VideoGPT — which quickly rose to the top of the ChatGPT marketplace.

Spotify Era
2020 - 2023
Audio You
At Spotify, I worked on Audio You — a project exploring how the music and podcasts we consume shape our identity. We designed experiences that help listeners understand, celebrate, and evolve their unique audio identity.
Search Experience
We reimagined Spotify’s search as a recommendations-first experience — shifting from simple keyword matching to intent-driven discovery. The goal: help listeners explore music, podcasts, and more through broader ideas and inspirations, not just known titles.
Setting a North Star Vision
I helped launch Spotify’s live audio product, originally born as a Hack Week project that won first place. That idea grew into Spotify Greenroom — later rebranded as Spotify Live.
Live Audio Chat
We did a discovery work for audio search (like Shazam) to Spotify — making it easier for listeners to identify songs instantly, while creating a stronger foundation for future discovery experiences.
Audio Search
Built an AI-powered sleep story generator, combining Spotify’s speech technology with OpenAI to create fully customizable, endlessly scalable bedtime stories.
AI Generated Sleep Stories
I led a team of designers to create a holistic big-screen experience for Spotify across smart TVs, game consoles, smart home devices, and more.
