We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Leslie Close. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Leslie below.
Hi Leslie, thanks for joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
Close Design takes a philosophy-first approach to evolving homes and everyday spaces into sustainable urban living environments. Leslie’s hands-on style of designing and managing the design process involves sourcing eco-friendly materials and collaborating with local experts to create harmonious spaces that foster human potential and heal the world. Born and raised in San Diego to Filipino/Japanese parents, Leslie is innovative and worldly but remains strongly influenced by her roots in the Philippine indigenous islands and Japanese cultures, such as wabi-sabi and the soft minimal approach.
As a conscious interior design studio, we work with you closely to create a sanctuary that is perfectly tailored to your lifestyle and goals. Our approach is based in classical Feng Shui, a system of design, arrangement, and orientation that developed in ancient China as a result of directly observing the patterns and cycles of the natural world.
Leslie, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I always have been into Feng Shui and loved creating harmonious spaces. I take a philosophy-first approach to evolving homes and everyday spaces into sustainable urban living environments. My hands-on style of designing and managing the design process involves sourcing eco-friendly materials and collaborating with local experts to create harmonious spaces that foster human potential and heal the world.
We offer interior design services and offer products that are aligned with the Feng Shui Elements
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
Born and raised in San Diego to Filipino/Japanese parents, I was always strongly influenced by my roots in the Philippine indigenous islands and Japanese cultures, despite not feeling like I fit in my environment growing up.
Incorporating the Philippine indigenous islands and Japanese cultural techniques like wabi-sabi and the soft minimal approach, illustrates my resilience everyday.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
