Founded in 2017 by Samantha Leeds creatures of place - is a sustainable design firm geared towards creating spaces in better harmony with ourselves and the natural world around us.

Samantha Leeds was designing and gut renovating apartments and brownstones in NYC and surrounding areas for 6 years before she started to really question our “modern” building practices the amount of waste associated with the world of construction and design.

Samantha is passionate about creating new systems of design. From small scale renovations to large scale builds she believes it is time to build with the earth in mind.

While we may have a long way to go before we can implement new earth friendly systems at a large scale Samantha believes it is important to start somewhere.
