from the Secret Service to the supper soirees of Brigitte Bardot
Laura Lee is leading the reinvention of San Francisco's former Secret Service HQ for a new generation of builders in AI, and reimagining properties in central Paris — with heirlooms personally entrusted to her by the family of Sacha Distel's manager (including the dining table and crystal they used to host Brigitte Bardot in the ’70s).
Elsewhere, Laura has designed a New York City residence alongside Ellen DeGeneres's former social media lead, and contributed to Cafe Kodomo, now featured on the Michelin Guide to Canal Saint-Martin.
Raised between Singapore and San Francisco, and trained in Paris, Laura's eye is sharp enough to bend rules with care and open enough to pair influences from worlds that do not normally collide.
As an artist-operator, Laura is as versed in the making as the imagining. Budgets, timelines, tough shot-calls, and the thousand unglamorous details that separate a good idea from a finished space are all part of the work.
Her clients describe an artist's advocacy, a product manager's rigor, and an operator's ownership over outcomes at the founder-mode speed familiar to her from the tempo of the tech world.
Prior to interiors, Laura studied neuroscience at Stanford and spent a decade as a founder/operator in San Francisco. She co-founded a vertical SaaS company that has since grown to seven figures and led a startup backed by Sheryl Sandberg (former Meta COO) as its first business hire. Her work has been recognized by Fast Company (‘21, ‘22, ‘23), and featured by Vercel (‘26).
Today, through her interior design practice _LLL, Laura designs workplaces, boutique hospitality properties, and homes into places that feel as good as they look.
Underscoring Laura's design philosophy is the belief that beauty makes life worth living, the recognition that investments in interior improvements should drive financial returns, and the understanding that humans are shaped by our physical environments far more than we give ourselves credit for.
