Andres Leon

Design engineer and founder. I love building products — I've been the first designer at several startups, from early concept all the way to launch.

I discovered startups when I was 13. They were more engaging than school. Traditional education didn’t satisfy my intellectual or social curiosities, so I’d skip class to focus on mastering design in Figma and building products. That was the start of four intense years building Warp—a digital bank for the underbanked in Mexico—where I cut my teeth as a first time founder.

After Warp, I spent two years at RemNote, where I helped create the go-to note-taking app for students. Since then I was a founding designer at Toppings, rethinking business models for food delivery; I founded JAWA to explore how informal street commerce in Mexico City could evolve in the digital era; and I just left Reticular, a YC company building tools for parents going through IVF. I love working at early stage startups for their potential for growth and impact. I'm currently looking for designer and design engineer roles — if you're building something interesting, I'd love to hear from you. You can see what I'm up to on my now page, and feel free to reach out anytime. I reply to all emails.
