Growing up in a home filled with artistic influence, with an architect father and painter mother, Leslie developed an appreciation for creativity, proportion, and visual storytelling from an early age. As a former professional ballet dancer, she also brings an instinctive understanding of movement, balance, and expression to the spaces she creates.

​

Leslie’s background in home staging gave her extensive experience styling interiors, understanding how people move through a space and recognizing the details that make a home feel both inviting and visually compelling. That experience also sharpened her ability to identify emerging design directions and translate them in a way that feels personal rather than trend-driven.

​

What began with friends and family responding to the distinctive style of her own home gradually evolved into a design practice. Today, Leslie brings that same intuitive eye to both residential interiors and the curation of Curated Studio Designs, helping select furnishings, objects, and accessories that feel thoughtful, expressive, and unexpected.

​

Her approach balances function with beauty, always with the goal of creating spaces that reflect the individuality of the people who live in them and make everyday life feel more beautiful and personal.
