Product design / Design leadership

Laura T Holder

I'm a Brooklyn-based product designer and design leader working at the intersection of publishing, design systems, editorial tools, and the people who use them.

About

I shape and ship digital product experiences for publications and platforms, often where editorial ambition, product systems, business needs, and internal workflows all meet. My work spans product strategy, research synthesis, interaction design, content design, design systems, and team leadership.

I'm especially interested in tools that help people make good work with less friction: CMS interfaces, publishing workflows, modular story formats, accessibility-minded systems, and product language that gives teams a shared way to move.

Notes
