Leah Buley

Leah Buley is a user experience researcher, strategist, author, and speaker who has spent more than two decades helping organizations understand their customers and build better products.

She is the author of The User Experience Team of One, first published in 2013 and now in its second edition. The book grew out of Leah’s own experience working as a user experience practitioner in organizations where research and design teams were small, new, or nonexistent. The User Experience Team of One has become a widely used guide for practitioners who need to make an impact without a large team or extensive resources.

Over the course of her career, Leah has worked across consulting, research, design, and executive strategy, including roles at Adaptive Path, Intuit, Forrester, and Lovevery. Her writing and research have appeared in publications including Harvard Business Review and Forbes. Today, Leah leads consumer insights and user research at Lovevery, where she works with executives and cross-functional teams to turn a deep understanding of parents and caregivers into better products and experiences for families.

She lives in California.
