Born and raised in Massachusetts, Leah spent much of her early years depicting New England’s natural environment through drawing and painting. As her interest in art grew, she fed her curiosity by documenting the built environments that surrounded her and began her path toward the world of architecture.

After graduating with a degree in Architecture from Hobart & William Smith Colleges, in Geneva, NY, Leah started her career splitting time between firms in Massachusetts and Vermont.  Her work focused on everything from energy efficient upgrades on historic buildings to one of her all-time favorite projects, the Alchemist Brewery.

With 13 years of design experience, Leah now lends her skills to the Barrett Studio team creating 3D models, renders, and drawing up construction document sets.

Most weekends, Leah can be found ambling along the Boulder trail system with her border collie mix, Maizie.
