Leyden Ynobe Lewis is the Founder and Creative Director of the Leyden Lewis Design Studio.

His design aesthetic is at once rooted in a rich classical Modernism coupled with ancient traditions and methodologies. As a trained architect and artist, he operates from a deep interest in art and the history of design to tell a new, modern story that engages with the cultures of the past and present and allows for a fluid integration between and engagement with art, architecture, and design.

The studio provides services for private high-end residential commissions, multi-family luxury housing developments, real estate developments, and commercial spaces. Leyden and his Studio also offer art advisory and curatorial services.

Leyden has been included in the Elle Decor A List as one of the top Interior Designers since 2020 and Architectural Digest’s AD-100 since 2021. He has the honor of being a Kips Bay Decorator Show House alumnus. And has exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem and at NYU’s 80WSE.
