As an emerging professional, Lea’s creative background in architecture and urban design guides her ability to produce imaginative spaces that bring placemaking to the forefront of a design vision. Through a perceptive understanding of the human architectural experience and its correlation to our urban landscapes, she believes every project is an opportunity to explore designs that are adaptable in materiality, functionality, and respond to the cultural context.
Since graduating from Miami University with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, Lea has contributed this holistic mindset within arcDESIGN’s diverse sectors, primarily focusing on community-driven projects. From initial diagrammatic space planning to project delivery, she approaches each design effort with bold ideas and an eagerness to make the client’s goals come to fruition.
