Lex Lesley

Lex Lesley is an artist and graduate student based in Berkeley. Prior to moving to the west coast, they worked with communities to collaboratively design and build the public gathering and play spaces across the DMV area and nationally. Lex is deeply inspired by the imagination and creativity of youth and is committed to empowering them to shape the built environment.

They are currently pursuing their Master of Landscape Architecture degree at UC Berkeley and focus on centering the lived experience, needs, and values of historically marginalized communities in the design and planning process of public space and ecological restoration projects. They will support the Young Women’s Design and Build Institute at Girl’s Garage this summer.
