About Leah

I’m an American designer who traded the classroom for the coastline. My career began in academia, where I earned master’s degrees in Cell & Molecular Biology and Education and worked as a science professor. But after becoming a mother, I realized my true passion lay in creating spaces that inspire connection, comfort, and beauty.

​

Today I live in the western Algarve with my family, surrounded by a wonderful community of friends. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me running along the cliffs, reading by the beach, enjoying time with my kids, or sampling Portugal’s incredible wines. I love organic spaces, I love areas of your home that feel cozy and welcoming. And I love making your home into a haven.
