LEAH | FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
Leah has a truly creative spirit. She won a photography award from The Boston Globe and wrote a successful blog before blogging was a thing. All the while she was renovating, designing and DIYing whatever home she lived in, from a Brooklyn brownstone to a 50’s ranch in the Boston suburbs. Professionally, she earned her law degree and practiced as a criminal defense attorney for nearly a decade before pivoting to interior design. She loves helping clients discover their personal style, working with green (natural) materials whenever possible (she also happens to love the color green), and finding those unicorn pieces that make the project, and the client, truly happy. Most of all, she loves helping clients adore their home - design is about creating beautiful spaces, but it’s just as much about creating spaces that makes life easier and happier for the people who live there.

"I took advantage of their Designer for a Day services. They were thorough, they "got" my vision, and they used the time efficiently to target the specific design items that I was stuck on. I love that this more affordable option is available to clients like me. I hope to use them in the future for more design services!"
