Leanna Cheung

 

Learning about the physical and psychological factors of design really reinforces that designers are a vessel of knowledge and lifelong students.

 

Create a great space; create a great experience. The ability to evoke an emotional connection with spaces is what drives Leanna as an interior designer. She believes a designer’s responsibility is to provide a positive and memorable solution; one that leaves clients feeling moved and understood. Through her professional growth, she reminds herself of these values to inspire connection through an innovative, imaginative and informed design process.

As a Registered Interior Designer and IDIBC member, Leanna’s commitment to professional growth and the design community is evident. Leanna was born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. by her Chinese immigrant parents. This experience has allowed her to be surrounded by diversity and multiculturalism; facets that allow her to bring a different perspective to design. An enthusiast of all things design, art, and travel, Leanna derives inspiration from these elements, recognizing travel as the greatest contributor to the growth of her interpersonal skills.
