Meet the Team
Deidre Kennedy
Deidre graduated from Winthrop University with a BFA in Interior Design and founded Leaf Design Studio in 2009. She resides in Mount Pleasant, SC with her husband, their 4 children and 10 chickens.
Ever since Deidre was a little girl, she has had a passion for color, design and creating beautiful spaces. Growing up, she loved spending time with her grandparents and she believes they helped shaped and nurture the passion that has since become her career.
Her Oma taught her how to sew and cook and was always willing to do any craft project together. Her Nunnie raised chickens and was the bravest and strongest women she ever met. Her Papa and Nana had a huge garden. Going fishing and helping her Papa in the garden instilled some of the best memories.
Deidre took a break from her career when she had her first son, Fox. Little did they know that the pandemic was just around the corner, which turned out to be a blessing. During this time, Deidre was able to get back in touch with the passions and lessons she learned as a child. She studied landscape design, permaculture and read any book she could find on homesteading. Together with her husband and son, they transformed their yard in to a certified wildlife habitat, raised 10 chickens and built a huge vegetable garden as well. She also had another baby boy, Banks who is the perfect finale to their family.
Adding garden design to our services only seemed like a natural choice.
“I am going to make everything around me beautiful—that will be my life. ”
