Our Story
25 years ago, Leslie with her four kids in tow and a basket of homemade focaccia bread, knocked on her new neighbor’s door. Libby Gallant had just moved with her family to Ridgewood Road. Over coffee, they discovered their shared passion for interior design. They also discovered that their personalities and styles complemented each other perfectly. Fast forward: After many more cups of coffee (and a few cocktails) Ridgewood Designs was born.
Countless clients later, award-winning designers, Leslie Ryan and Libby Gallant are reaching new heights with their innovative concepts and creative vision. Whether you have 600 or 6000 square feet, Leslie and Libby partner with you to co-create customized living spaces that reflect who you are and how you want to live.
“Home is where
life happens.”
Our Story
Libby Gallant
“Design is about relationships – the relationships we develop with our clients and the relationship we create with their space. Without a keen understanding of our clients, we couldn’t be effective in translating their dreams into reality. We listen closely so we get what matters to them. Our clients feel heard and understood. I think this is the reason that our business has mainly grown through referrals – which we love!”

“Each room has a story to tell, so to be an excellent designer, I think you need to be a first-rate storyteller. And while each room reflects its own tale, in the end, the whole house needs to feel balanced and harmonious. Clients appreciate that we bring a deep understanding of the elements necessary to create balanced and compelling spaces.”
