Hi, I'm Leah Reich.
I'm a writer and researcher working to make technology and the internet more human. I've worked for such companies as Slack, Instagram, and Spotify, and my writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Verge, The Atlantic, and other publications. You can read more about me here.
