ALEXANDRA LEIGH, aka Alex

After more than a decade as an interior designer and real estate agent, I’ve guided clients through some of the most personal, life-changing purchases of their lives. I’ve learned how to navigate the consumer’s brain when they’re determining how much to trade for security, status, or lifestyle. I’ve also learned that with the right ~~cosmetic improvements and marketing~~ art direction and advertising, I can sell any home, so now I’m looking for something new to sell. Always seeking my next hill to climb, I’ve taken on many self-imposed challenges over the past few years:

Running the Richmond Marathon
Renovating five homes
Starting a book club
Cooking my way through over 200 recipes
Mastering sourdough
Cake decorating
Sewing my own clothes
Becoming a Master Gardener
Starting a Substack
Getting my master’s degree from the VCU Brandcenter

I’m hoping that last one will provide a lifetime of new challenges, but what do you think? Contact me if you’ve got a juicy project I can sink my teeth into next.
