Summary
Leonard Teo is a creative technologist and photographer with nine years of experience blending art, web engineering and entrepreneurship from Ottawa. He founded and scaled ArtStation and Ballistiq into industry-leading platforms for digital artists and studios before both were acquired by Epic Games, where he later led web and online engineering teams. Leonard now focuses on fine art photography—portrait, wildlife and travel—while advising and investing in startups across food tech and creator platforms. His background spans product marketing, community building and hands-on engineering, giving him a rare fluency across creative, technical and business domains. Fluent in turning niche creative communities into sustainable businesses, he also brings a philosophical outlook—福祸无门,惟人自召—that informs both risk-taking and craft.
