Leo Pastel

I’m Pastel, I’m a product designer and graphic designer. I currently attend the University of Cincinnati as a Communication Design major.

I’ve been in the web3 space since 2020. During my time here I have worked with some amazing companies, namely FriendsWithBenefits, SongCamp, Metav3rse ++. I co-founded two web3 native companies. As community lead & product designer for The Outsider Collective, we shipped our genesis release, “Loser Club Mixtape”, a community mixtape which bright together a pfp community to launch a music project. Our drop generated <16 ETH in value, which was split evenly between all contributors on the project. I designed the UX of the NFT, which allows the user to interact with a music player fully onchain. I am currently working on a new startup, Weird Wide World [WWW], focused on providing easily-accessible resources for artists. Through WWW I am currently designing the front and back-end of an artist app using no-code tools.

Along with my design skills I have a budding career as a musician, a focus on community building, and do freelance consulting and marketing for artists and companies alike.
