Leah Ritsema
Senior Associate
Commercial Furniture
Leah's background in the hospitality industry makes her a natural at building intentional and authentic relationships. The opportunity to consult throughout the process of someone landing their dream job drew her to the position, and as “a creative without a creative outlet,” she loves working with others who understand and love exceptional design. In her free time, you can find Leah having dance parties in her kitchen, making homemade ramen noodles, listening to podcasts, or reading or writing poetry. If you want to get her fired up, mention your Enneagram number or how awesome Purdue University is.
