Krispin Leydon Email & Phone Number

I grew up on a farm between a design studio and a machine shop, and have pursued intersections of design, technology, and the natural world ever since. Professionally, I've led interaction design for Walt Disney Animation, designed the UI for Tesla's first electric car, and helped Angaza enable affordable, clean energy access for 20M+ households off the grid. Along the way, I've taught English in Venezuela, conducted field research in Kenya and India, and designed visualizations for utility-scale energy storage systems that now bolster electrical grids from Texas to Australia.Academically, I studied Engineering and Animation at Dartmouth College, and earned my Masters at the University of Limerick, through research collaborations with the European Media Lab and MIT. When not taming technology for human use, I enjoy cooking with friends, daydreaming on train rides, and walking in the woods. My last long walk led over two thousand miles through fourteen states; from Georgia to Maine along the Appalachian Trail.
