what people are saying
gosh, thanks!
…she brought a considerable amount of professionalism to the project table. Leslie very easily grasped what our design challenges were and helped coordinate the Interior Design in such a way that we came up with seamless solutions for the client. Working with Leslie was wonderful; she is very creative and has a very positive and grounded view of what it takes to complete a project.

Leslie did a great job handling the PGA Stadium Clubhouse project. Her management style brought creative solutions to construction implementation issues, while keeping the budget in view. Interfacing with the general contractor and other consultants was always handled efficiently, with warmth and a team attitude. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Leslie again in the near future!

It has been a real treat having Leslie launch my new marketing campaign for me. For anyone who is looking to brand themselves online, I highly recommend you talk to Leslie–she won’t give you the standard boiler-plate template boring stuff. She’ll figure out who you are and what you want to convey and help you set yourself apart from others out there. And she’ll make it beautiful.
Jenn Pfeifferclient, Jenn Pfeiffer Real Estate
Leslie provided a unique perspective to her design approach with a keen sensibility to the client’s expectations. She balanced this with an eye to project budgets and schedule limitations. She is a compassionate listener and is always generous with her time and willing to help. She is a hard worker and a confident self-starter, always researching new ideas and figuring out new ways of doing things that will make a project or process flourish.

I worked with Leslie on a small project with a very tight schedule as the sale of my house depended on it. She was able to quickly understand what was required and quickly turned around the required documents for permitting. Her familiarity with the local building codes and what the city was looking for were critical in helping get the required building permits.
Leslie was a pleasure to work with at a time when everyone around her was under a lot of pressure. She was friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable. I would not think twice about having her help me next time.

We hired Leslie to draft exhibit floorplans of our museum. She quickly grasped what our needs were and executed the project efficiently and professionally. Her positive attitude was refreshing and I hope we have an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Leslie worked with me on two complex designs for restaurant proposals in the Presidio. She did an incredible job of weaving the aesthetic, functional and cost considerations into the designs and working to present these through the complex review process and to the varied decision makers at the Presidio.

About me
At the core I am a story teller. I’ve been designing commercial interiors for over twenty years and writing for much longer than that.
When I’m not working on a project I’m creating note cards, jewelry, a better way to get through daily chores, my own stories both true and not so much, a new garden, furniture, recipes. And most importantly relationships….with family, friends and clients. I live near San Francisco with hubby, one small dog and four chickens and spend a great deal of time texting my children.
