I’m Leslie Büttel, a frontend developer and digital designer based in Berlin.

Since 2025, I’m part of Village One, a remote worker-owned cooperative. We focus on building thoughtful digital products.

Previously, I was closely involved with openDesk, designing and building the website as well as creating the openDesk logo alongside the openCode logo. I also contributed to UX improvements across the openDesk suite, with a particular focus on the panel and dashboard, and helped refine the app’s top navigation to better connect all vendors within the platform.

Between 2019 and '22 I have worked at diesdas.digital, where I have contributed to a wide range of projects, from creating simple yet elegant portfolio websites to tackling the challenges of complex digital platforms and commercial websites.

Before focusing on programming, I worked in the fields of graphic and spatial design for several years, where I was mostly involved in the cultural sector. By combining programming with my design knowledge from different disciplines, I can take a holistic approach to developing websites that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide a great user experience.
