Leslie brings nearly 17 years of experience working on projects across New York state, Philadelphia, Chicago, SouthEast Michigan, Florida and Atlanta. An artist from an early age, Leslie creates relaxed-but polished spaces that keep the focus on how we really live. Every project is driven by Leslie’s commitment to refined simplicity & craftsmanship at every scale.

BristowMather’s entire team is cultivated on the principles of collaboration & teamwork, especially with our contractors and builders. This rigorous commitment allows BristowMather to consistently deliver projects at the highest level of design & construction quality.
