Leslie Summerlin, principal designer

A Letter from the Principal

Design the way you actually live.

I started Summerlin Design ten years ago with a single conviction — that the best interiors come from one person holding the whole picture, not a team of account managers passing notes between client and craft.

Since then, the studio has completed more than 250 homes along the South Orange County coast. I have designed for families in Newport Beach, couples settling into Laguna, and businesses building something meant to last.

My work is materially driven. I am drawn to limestone and bleached oak, to linen that softens with use, to the way a room holds light at golden hour. I believe a home should erase the line between indoors and out, and that a commercial space should feel considered down to the last fixture.

When you work with this studio, you work with me — from the first consultation to the final installation. That is not a selling point. It is simply how good design gets made.
