LEAH ITALIA
she/her 🏳️🌈
Founder & Multi-faceted Designer
Growing up in the rural landscapes of Florida, I developed a profound connection with the state's subtropical greenery, vivid hues, and thick, sultry summers. My formative years were filled with treasured moments spent exploring the vibrant aisles of flea markets and antique shows alongside my parents. These experiences left an indelible mark on my design aesthetic, infusing it with a deep reverence for nature and a nostalgic charm that defines my unique style.
It wasn't until about six years ago that I stumbled upon my true calling for design. Although I realized this as I approached my thirties, I navigated through challenging periods and unfulfilling jobs, proving that pursuing one's dreams knows no age limit. This journey has only strengthened my belief that it's never too late to embrace and foster one's passion. ❤️
I’m currently available for design projects and consulting engagements.
