Cole Leach
Product designer

I’m a senior product design student based in Portland, Oregon, specializing in outdoor gear, footwear, and material exploration. Rooted in HCD, my approach focuses on understanding real needs, creative problem-solving, and refining ideas through iteration.

At Iacoli, a small design studio, I’ve honed my ability to collaborate closely, experiment with materials, and craft thoughtful, functional solutions. Whether developing a product or exploring new processes, I prioritize sustainable practices, storytelling, and pushing design forward with purpose.
