Leila’s work synthesizes the moment when culture and community influence design. She is the Practice Lead for the Spaces team. Previous to joining CōLab, she led the architectural design consultancy Spaces Of with Aaron Harvey.As a program manager on the Airbnb Environments and Design Operations teams, Leila was responsible for the layered and joyful detail that brought each space to life. She oversaw multiple design programs that integrated local culture, brand ethos, and strong aesthetics into the offices globally. Most influential was the Employee Design Experience, a change-management, and culture-building program enacted through integrating employee participation in the design process. Leila got her start overseeing the activation of public space at PROXY, an experimental project in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, which brought together community, event, and design.
