Our ShelfGenie of Philadelphia Team

As a third generation builder/ cabinet maker born and raised in Berks County, PA, I have been in close proximity to the home building community my entire life, learning the value of quality craftsmanship and customer service from my father and grandfather who were both small business owners. I attended Long Island University and spent 2 1/2 years studying in Kyoto, Japan, learning the construction techniques and design principles guiding traditional Japanese architecture and furniture design. After graduating with a degree in East Asian Studies I returned to PA to work in the field of custom home renovations which also included taking on custom furniture commissions. I began working for ShelfGenie in 2011 as a designer and installer which has been the perfect platform for me to utilize the skills and values I have acquired over the years. As the owner of ShelfGenie of Philadelphia I will continue to deliver the same level of care and craft our customers have come to expect from the premier custom glideout company.

As a Certified Professional Organizer and Certified ShelfGenie Designer, my lifelong passion for organization traces back to my childhood. I fondly recall organizing my mother's kitchen cabinets, a satisfaction that eventually blossomed into a full-fledged career. In 1997, I took the leap and established my business as a professional organizer. In 2013, I embarked on a new chapter by becoming a ShelfGenie Designer. This seamless addition allowed me to solve a wide range of challenges for my clients. Whether it's creating organization in your kitchen, transforming a dysfunctional pantry, or bringing calm to your bathroom, I am able to create custom solutions. Since my inaugural year as a ShelfGenie Designer, I’m honored to have received recognition and accolades that underscore my dedication to excellence. Each award is a reminder of my commitment of providing exceptional solutions. I'm excited about the prospect of collaborating with you to bring your organizational dreams to reality. Whether you're seeking to reclaim lost space, streamline daily routines, or enhance the functionality of your home, I'm here to listen, understand, and create a design that not only meets, but exceeds your expectations. As I often say, “Until I come into your home, you don’t know, what you don’t know.” I can’t wait to show you!

Leslie has always loved design in all its forms from fashion and art to interiors. However, writing beckoned first and her degree in English Literature and Journalism brought Leslie to California's Silicon Valley to work consecutively as a corporate communications editor for two different Fortune 500 electronics companies. Covering stories on both technical products and interviewing employees to gain their points of view on how they applied their engineering and design skills to create inventive applications was exciting. Yet the East Coast beckoned her home and she switched careers to run the sales and marketing arm for a regional food distributor. Always looking to expand the possibilities, she enjoyed working with the owner to develop the company's product lines until it blossomed into a full-line distributorship. This opportunity made her realize how much she loved both versatility in all areas and working with new and familiar people. Jumping forward to 2011, after a couple long distance moves in the United States and Europe, her life placed her back on the East Coast, this time in Philadelphia where she discovered ShelfGenie. When Leslie first saw the ShelfGenie Philadelphia Home Show display, she was stunned. Here was a customized product that was beautiful and capable of bringing phenomenal benefits to anyone's home. She easily saw how it could make anyone's domestic duties easier. ShelfGenie had been in business since 2000. Yet, she saw this as an amazing opportunity because it was now being introduced to the Philadelphia area. Hired and trained by the company's founder, she surprisingly and enthusiastically embarked on her new role as a designer. "This has become such a personally exhilarating experience for me", says Leslie. "I love meeting new people and finding ways to improve their lives. ShelfGenie designs and manufactures such a stellar product which makes my design work a fulfilling experience. I can only describe my design consultations as joyful. And, they are fun! I am really fortunate to be representing ShelfGenie."
