Hello!

I’m Leeanne Rawson — founder of Balanced By Design, a full-service interior design studio dedicated to creating spaces that feel effortlessly, authentically you.

Designing a home is deeply personal, and every project I take on is a collaborative journey. Your personality, lifestyle, and vision are at the heart of every decision we make — because a truly beautiful space is one that feels like it was made just for you.

Over the past decade, my career in design has naturally evolved. With an extensive background in apparel design, I discovered I couldn’t resist getting involved in my husband’s construction projects — and soon realized that interiors were simply another, more personal, medium for my creativity. While fashion taught me about form, proportion, and detail, interiors gave me something I’d been craving: a genuine connection with the people I design for, and the joy of seeing them live in and love the spaces we create together.

My favorite part of the process is getting to know you — understanding how you live, how you want your home to feel, and how you dream of using your space. That personal connection is what makes a house feel like your home, and I’m honored to play a part in that transformation.

Whether you’re refreshing a single room or building your dream home from the ground up, I’m here to guide you through every step — from choosing the perfect window treatments and furnishings to managing full-scale renovations and new construction. My approach is collaborative, approachable, and even a little fun — because designing your home should be as enjoyable as living in it.

Thanks to my husband’s expertise as a General Contractor, we bring a unique, seamless perspective to every project. Together, we’ve built lasting relationships with homeowners, builders, and tradespeople across Southern Vermont, creating a trusted network of skilled professionals I’m proud to bring to my clients.

My ultimate goal? To create a home that feels balanced, beautiful, and unmistakably yours — and to make the journey just as rewarding as the result.

Let’s design something amazing together.
