Lesley Harper, AIA, NCARB, Associate DBIA

Client Leader

Lharper Web

Life is always moving and exciting for Lesley — in her career and personal life. Whether it’s traveling to over 60 countries or walking clients through every phase of project, Lesley loves the ride.  

As an architect for over 30 years, Lesley enjoys making a difference in her clients’ lives. She is inspired by projects that positively impact the surrounding communities and enjoys finding solutions to any situation she and her team are faced with. She specializes in healthcare, education and commercial projects — but what Lesley really loves is being involved in the full experience of a project. She exudes that passion as a member of the Open Hand Studio of CannonDesign Advisory Board, the firm’s public interest design arm. No matter what she’s involved in, she wants to be there from the start to the end.
