What Our Clients Say

"Working with Leesa gave us the chance to create a space that was supportive of the family life we wanted to live. Leesa spent a lot of time listening. Even the silliest things like, “where will we store the wrapping paper?” were taken into consideration. It has been such a beautiful and seamless process going from concept to design to construction to completion. I wish I had another reason to work with Leesa; the design process was a blast!"
