“I enjoy teaching anyone techniques on how to make their lives easier by using software tools, especially in marketing by creating powerful pitches in visual communications.
We rely on technology to transform us but it really isn’t the only solution. Humans make the change, technology is just an enabler.”
U N I Q U E S E L L I N G P R O P O S I T I O N
Over the years, I have manifested an entrepreneurial spirit with a strategic mindset enriched by corporate experience while working for the country’s top telco executives and meeting technology leaders and market analysts from across the Pacific. This rich exposure to today’s disruptive trends allows me to generate valuable insights for decision-makers across industries. My talent in Information Design–the future of communication arts–provides the right platform to help businesses understand complex technologies through good design.

Please introduce yourself.
1. What is your advice for a designer helping a client turn a personal idea into a viable business?
2. What is your advice for a business owner (established or start-up) looking to develop a viable business?
3. What are the top 3 trends you see in the role of design and technology helping businesses reach the next milestone?
I’m Leslie Bayona. Twenty-five years old. I have a BS and a BFA, now on my way to an MBA.
I’m a business development manager for a telecom company where I transform enterprise productivity with the Cloud. When I’m not disrupting the business as usual,
you can find me building brands and fighting bad design at night. Want to collaborate? I’d love to listen to your ideas.
Q&AMy advice for a designer helping a client turn a personal idea into a viable business is to show him the full motion picture of all the possibilities. My advice for business owner (established or start-up) looking to develop a viable business is to focus on three key relevances: time, people, and taste. The top 3 trends I see in the role of design and technology in helping businesses reach the next milestone might sound contradicting, but they are: Design Autonomy - Business owners will be less and less reliant on graphic artists for crafting their brand. Inclusive Design - Business owners will go beyond their target market and customise their products and services to a granular degree to accommodate the needs of those outside of their niche. Customer Experience - This is a timeless concept, but the most dynamic in terms of impact. Business owners shouldn’t be afraid of experimenting new media channels to entertain their customers who are always seeking something new and fresh.
At heart is a focus on the business of technology, grounded in design, with a light touch of curiosity about life.
