Founder/President/Lead Designer

Lorele Lesoing

Working in corporate America for many years, I gained vast knowledge on how to run a business and more importantly…how not to. In 1989, I started Lee Douglas Interiors combining my name (pronounced Laura Lee), and my husband’s name Doug. The outcome: Lee Douglas Interiors. What’s really embarrassing is we actually hired an advertising / creative firm to develop that.

I had no idea Lee Douglas would become what it is today, but one by one I hired these amazing people that kept taking us to the next level and changing the dynamic of this company. I soon realized that sometimes the best plan is to be open to change.

I love my work and I’m good at what I do. I love working with my clients, developing my designers, refining our customer support, developing products, expanding the stores, and focusing as much on the details as I do the big picture. I also love going home every night to my same partner who has been there since the beginning, Doug and the two LDI mascots Roman and Zoe.

My goal for you is to have an experience when you visit. I want you to walk in our stores and be bouncing to the beat while you’re shopping. I want you to feel inspired, be greeted by a cool staff and made to feel welcome no matter who you are. I want the experience to feel good, to look good, to sound good and to smell good. I want you to open the doors of our website and feel the same exact way.

My dream was to be the best at what we do and stand out from all the rest. I’m all in; continually adding lines, products and locations, making us a big deal. I want you to be part of this- Thank you for your business, friendship and loyalty.

Carpe Diem!

Rick Russell

Rick Russell

Coming in as the second longest standing designer at LDI, Rick Russell.

Have you ever met someone that is never in a bad mood?  Consistent in mood, client service, results, outcome and the team- Rick is our man.   An accomplished designer and polished in every style, he will make your ideas come to life only better than you imagined them.

On a personal note; you won’t catch Rick here when he has time off, he is a jet setter and always exploring new places.  No time off?- his go to for relaxation is karaoke, (don’t even try- he’s the best).

Even in the most serious of meetings, Rick has a one liner that brings us all back to what’s most important- his jokes.

Lindsay Day

Lead Designer

Lindsay Day

Call on Lindsay when you have a set of plans that need a tweak. She has this love for interior architecture and spatial relationships that is almost obscene.

She ditches us occasionally for the mountains where she runs, hikes, goofs off with her boys (one of them her son) and tries to memorize every sunset.

Don’t kid yourself, Lindsay is a girly girl. She is like a lioness on a Saturday afternoon searching for that fashion score. She can lose herself in a good magazine or can power pin like no other on Pinterest.

She’s all about Mid-century architecture and looks to Kelly Wearstler and Philippe Starck for inspiration.

Clarissa Tuxhorn

Senior Designer & Omaha Site Manager

Clarissa Tuxhorn

Clarissa moved her life from Sioux Falls to Omaha for LDI. An Auburn, NE native, she went from riding horses to riding the wave of Interior Design, claiming her master’s degree in in 2011. Her real mastery is perfecting every drawing, selecting every material and finalizing every detail. Her perfection is doing a series of small things really well for a result that makes her clients light up.

A detail queen, Clarissa often annoys all of our partners in construction to get what she wants, but they keep coming back for more because of the pride in the outcome. “I know your kids names and I know how you live, I will make your home yours, I take this responsibility personally”.

Abby Kruse

Lead Designer

Abby Kruse

“I am who I am. I can try to be someone else for you, but I’ll fail every time.” Some may say she’s no chameleon, but she explains it as being genuine. From a young age Abby was taught to treat the janitor the same as the CEO and this is probably why she has a big heart.

She prioritizes her family and friends but only allows those in that are quick witted, because laughter is too important to her. Career wise and simply put, Abby owns her role, she establishes a relationship and has this uncanny ability to “feel” what you want and need”. What’s great is she doesn’t stop till you are convinced you need it too, and always leaves you coming back for more.

Abby has one major guilty pleasure- making sure everyone else is having a good time.

Ashley Scaturro

Designer

Ashley Scaturro

When asking Ashley what she is passionate about, Michael Scaturro is her answer. One would think that was some famous Italian Designer- but no, it is her significant other. Changing her mind on her favorite style often, this Michael dude is a saint because Ashely always tries it out at home first. Her current style romance is “mid-century modern and craftsman, I’m bouncing from clean lines, and modern colors to warm woods, cozy comfy furniture and wainscoting”.

However, there is one other man who has managed to capture Ashley’s attention and that would be Harry Potter. This “Potter head” is a wizard at running remodels and lives for mastering them. She’s constantly helping clients’ visions come to life.

Ashley stays sane after a long day of with a glass of wine and a good book, dreaming of world travel after winning the lottery, and oh yeah….Michael.

Jami Miszuk

Lead Designer

Jami Miszuk

“Newomt”-  a style Jami has molded.  New, old, modern, traditional, to clarify- she loves it all!  Taking risks in design is her rush, “When I take risks that could end in total failure, my adrenaline will start to pump and creativity will start to flow, making sure failure is not an option, and I get a rockstar result every time.”  She lives for connecting with her clients and taking her their breath away, so if you aren’t one to get excited don’t call her.

A great mom, wife, and designer, Jami was a good find. Finally, she cracks herself up and she thinks she is hilarious- so just go with it.
