Leesa Cheong-Cano

Architectural Designer

Leesa Cheong-Cano brings energy and curiosity to her work as an architectural designer, with a focus on projects that celebrate community, culture, and shared experience. Drawn to libraries, education, and hospitality environments, she is motivated by the opportunity to create spaces that are inclusive, engaging, and deeply rooted in the people they serve.

Leesa supports her teams through thoughtful documentation, visual production, and clear presentation, helping translate ideas into compelling narratives. She also plays an active role in shaping studio culture, organizing events and initiatives that foster connection and collaboration across the office.

Outside of architecture, Leesa’s creative practice continues through movement and dance—an influence that informs her sensitivity to rhythm, expression, and the human experience of space.
