Leslie Webb was born in Georgetown, Texas, yet it was while working as a nanny for the Van Vranken family in Brunswick, Maine, that she was first introduced to woodworking. During her spare time, she began building crates for Robert, the father of the family, in which he shipped his paintings to clients across the United States. From the very first time she cut a piece of wood, she knew she had found her calling.

Leslie soon enrolled in the Nine Month Comprehensive Course at the renowned Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine. At the Center, she gained a solid technical foundation and began developing her own aesthetic. Continuing her education, she came to the Crafts and Design Program at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. Leslie relentlessly challenged her design sense and technical knowledge. Recognition and awards quickly followed, including the prestigious Niche Student Awards.

Leslie loves the challenge of balancing the aesthetic and utilitarian aspects of each piece she designs and builds. She believes that form and function are equally important, that they must act together to create a whole. Her designs often employ the use of pattern and repetition, building a work whose total is greater than its parts.
