During this pleasantly meandering conversation, Leah Noble Davidson — Chief Experience Officer at Because Human — and I will explore topics ranging from mobile phone hardware design to publishing poetry to MIT design challenges in the time of a pandemic to how it all really comes down to timing. And a few things in between.


Leah has consulted within Portland’s startup tech industry for 10 years, working with larger teams from Jive and Puppet to startups like Torch and BeyondPulse.


Having newly ventured into the role of a founder, she’ll be asking questions from the perspective of a female design professional who can speak the language — but is only now really learning how to juggle the risks and rewards firsthand.
