Amy Leadem

Amy Leadem is a senior software designer at Bixal. Prior to their current position, they worked as a front-end web development lead at Raytheon Technologies from January 2020 to November 2021. As the lead front-end developer, they were responsible for designing, developing and maintaining multiple design systems across the company’s internal and external web platforms.

Her key achievement was leading the UX/UI analysis of the large intranet presence as part of the redesign of our intranet system. This involved developing user personas, conducting user interviews, and performing an audit of existing UI elements. Amy made recommendations for a library of common UI elements, page types, and design patterns. Amy also developed a system of performant and accessible HTML, CSS, and JS for an entirely new component library. The result was a streamlined system that made page design and development much easier, faster, and more consistent than it had ever been before.

Amy Leadem attended Arkansas State University and earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism-Advertising.
