Leon Brown

Leon Brown is a creative director based in London who has spent more than a decade leading design teams inside fast-growing technology companies. He is currently a partner at New Genre, and previously led design at the spend management platform Vertice and at the enterprise cybersecurity platform Tessian, acquired by Proofpoint.

Alongside that role he runs Shinoda, an independent design studio devoted to shaping digital products and brand experiences with founders and early-stage teams. His practice is deliberately multi-disciplinary, moving between visual communication, semiotics and product design, and he publishes an occasional newsletter on visual and semiotic culture, design philosophy and emerging technologies.
