About
Leslie Johnson

Senior Product professional who builds systems that amplify human judgment

I combine HCI training from Carnegie Mellon with coaching frameworks and hands-on AI development. I help organizations make smart decisions about AI — when to build, when to buy, and whether they're ready for either.

My approach: strategic thinking (Wardley mapping, systems design) + rapid prototyping (Cursor, Claude Code, Python, n8n) + behavioral insight — what users actually need vs. what they say they need.
