About the designer . . .
Counter
Lanie Lessard, certified interior designer
and principal of Lessard Design Associates,
opened the firm in 1998.  Lanie holds a BFA
from the University of Georgia Lamar Dodd
School of Art and has provided lighting and
interior design solutions for many private
homes as well as numerous public and
commercial spaces in the Athens and North
Georgia areas.
Lanie's philosophy of design is to
produce final results that meet the
clients' goals and to have the clients
participate as much as possible in the
development, selection, and finishing
touches of each project.  Her clients
have a strong sense of ownership in the
completed project.  She enjoys working
with clients and their architects,
contractors, and subcontractors from
the initial spark of the dream to the
reality of the project!

(Lanie's interest in
design has deep roots.  
As a young girl, she
spent hours creating
floor plans using grass
clippings from the
family's freshly-mowed
back yard!)
