About.
ENERGIZED BY CREATING NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
Successful and motivated programmer, designer, and project manager interested in storytelling, project workflow, agile development, design thinking, and rapid prototyping.
Hello, my name is Patrick Leinen and I currently work as a business designer for Accenture Operations doing design work, visual storytelling, client workshops, and project planning. I find great pleasure in collaborating with teams throughout an agile development process to create dynamic experiences through imagery, user flows, wireframes, and user interface mockups/prototypes for quick iteration projects. You could describe me as a creative who likes to tinker and build disruptive technologies – never satisfied with just doing the routine and always looking for something new and exciting. I truly take great pleasure in taking part in “the next big thing.”
While great design is a primary motivator in my projects, I work very hard to better understand the latest/newest technologies like mobile development practices and the internet of things to better design to meet my user’s needs. If you’d like to meet up to discuss an idea or just want to pick my brain, feel free to reach out to me!

ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
All the projects I take part in, from visual layouts to mobile development, design is the core component that ties these technologies into a cohesive, effective experience. It permeates all aspects of the building process – I work to specialize in the following skills:
01. DESIGN.
First impressions are everything. Good design plays such an important role in setting mood, conveying a message, and communicating an idea. It’s the difference of taking messaging that is plain and creating an impactful message through imagery and design. To this end I devote myself to improving storytelling and message through design.
02. USER CENTERED.
Knowing about users and actively creating an excellent user experience is one of the core principles of user-centered design. By embracing Design Thinking techniques and process the projects I take part in can better produce true user-centric outcomes.
03. TECHNOLOGY.
The digital revolution is upon us and I take pleasure in pursuing the latest technology. The greatest challenge and joy is in finding new ways to integrate digital into useful, intuitive design.
Skills.
RESULTS DRIVEN OUTCOMES.
As an experienced individual in the field of design and technology, I can contribute towards the growth of an organization with my knowledge in design, programming, prototyping, testing and troubleshooting. As a self-motivated individual with good communication skills and leadership qualities, I have the ability to motivate and help bring out the best.
MERGING DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY.
Having worked as a business designer, programmer, and consultant for the last ten years organizing major campaigns and designing for multinational clients, I offer my strong leadership skills to teams working on cutting-edge design. I take great pride in pulling together the best elements of modern design and technology to create unique user experiences.
