I'm Nerissa Leonardo, a 2025 graduate of Virginia Tech's Interior Design program with a passion for creating thoughtful, human-centered environments that balance functionality, empathy, and visual clarity. Through academic and studio work, I've developed a strong interest in inclusive, experience-driven design and the ways environments can support comfort, collaboration, focus, and well-being.

As I continue developing my voice as a designer, I strive to create spaces that feel intuitive and engaging while leaving a meaningful impact on the people who experience them.
