Background

About Lea Schwegler

I design intelligent systems that adapt, anticipate, and stay out of the way—until they’re truly needed. My work centers on building AI-driven experiences that feel natural, reduce friction, and quietly support people in their everyday workflows. Right now, I’m focused on framing the new design challenges AI introduces—shifting from static interfaces to dynamic systems that learn, collaborate, and make decisions. And most importantly; I create principles, patterns, and orchestration models for designing with intelligence, not just for it—with a strong belief that trust must be designed in from the start. Before diving into intelligent systems, I spent 8+ years helping startups around the world find their design foundation—shaping ideas from 0→1, building AI-first product ideas, design systems, and crafting digital products across web, mobile, and beyond. My background spans AI systems design, product design, interaction design, visual identity, and UX strategy—always with a builder’s mindset and a love for clarity and cohesion.
