Inspired to Live. Designed to Last.
At Studio Lee, we believe a home should be more than a beautiful backdrop for life—it should be a space that works for how you actually live. Founded by Erica Lee, an interior designer with a passion for Organic Modern design, Studio Lee creates timeless, functional spaces that strike the perfect balance between style and purpose.
the studio lee vision
We’re here to design homes that feel as effortless as they are intentional.
Whether it’s a custom build, a whole-home renovation, or a one-room refresh, our approach is grounded in understanding your lifestyle, needs, and dreams. Every decision—from the layout to the smallest finish—is made to create a home that reflects who you are, on your best and messiest days.
Studio Lee isn’t about chasing trends or creating spaces that look good but don’t function. Our designs are timeless, neutral, and calming—letting you live your life in full color while your home serves as the ultimate retreat. And we don’t stop at aesthetics; we know how crucial it is to work within real-world constraints like budgets and construction timelines. That’s why every project is backed by clear communication, meticulous planning, and a collaborative spirit that ensures the end result feels just right.

the studio lee story
-
Studio Lee was born out of a passion for creating spaces that feel intentional, grounded, and inspired by real life. For founder and designer Erica Lee, the journey started in corporate America, where she climbed the ranks to Senior Vice President at a top U.S. mortgage lender. Managing multiple departments and streamlining processes, Erica thrived in her fast-paced, high-level role, but something was missing. Her love for design, rooted in countless home projects and creative side hustles, kept calling her back.
-
With a leap of faith (and a design certification in hand), Erica left the corporate world to launch Studio Lee, a design studio where she could bring her vision of intentional living to life. For Erica, this wasn’t just about creating beautiful homes; it was about building a business that aligned with her lifestyle—one focused on health, balance, and connection.

An avid athlete and lover of sports, Erica’s daily routines reflect the principles she brings into her designs. From starting her mornings with sunlight to prioritizing organic eating and daily movement, she believes in the power of small, intentional habits to create a better life. For her, time in nature is more than a pastime—it’s a source of inspiration and a reminder to stay rooted. This philosophy drives everything she does at Studio Lee, from bringing the outside in with Organic Modern designs to helping clients create homes that feel like retreats.
By blending her knack for detail and efficiency with her passion for wellness and design, Erica has built Studio Lee into a place where homeowners and builders can dream, build, and grow—one thoughtful space at a time.
why studio lee?
Studio Lee is more than an interior design studio—it’s a method. A method that balances beauty with functionality, practicality with creativity, and timeless design with real-life needs.
We’re intentional. Every piece, material, and layout is chosen for a reason. Whether it’s maximizing space, enhancing flow, or simply looking incredible, every decision earns its place. We believe in authenticity. Your home should reflect who you are, socks on the counter and all. We design for real life—messy, beautiful, and everything in between. We bring the outside, in. Nature is the ultimate designer, and we love taking notes. By blending organic elements with modern sensibilities, we create spaces that feel calm, grounded, and connected to the outdoors. We believe that timelessness is the only trend. Your home shouldn’t have an expiration date. We design spaces that feel fresh today and just as relevant ten years from now, avoiding fleeting fads in favor of enduring style.
At Studio Lee, we don’t just design for how a home looks—we design for how it works. We know construction isn’t just about the finishes; it’s about understanding the nitty-gritty details, like rough plumbing, electrical placements, and framing, long before choosing the perfect tile or paint color. That’s why we work alongside builders as a trusted partner, bridging the gap between vision and execution.
And let’s be clear—I’m not the designer who shows up to the jobsite in grandma’s drapery-inspired outfits. I’m hands-on, detail-oriented, and always ready to collaborate, ensuring no element is overlooked. It’s this practicality, combined with a deep understanding of both design and construction, that makes Studio Lee the go-to for homeowners and builders alike.
