Lea, owner of CreAsians Designs:

After living and working abroad for the past 10 years Lea decided to return home to San Diego and embark on a new career. Prior to opening the furniture boutique CreAsians Designs, located in the Design District of Solana Beach, California, she worked as a telecommunications engineer in Australia, South America, Europe, Africa, and the Far East. The last few years abroad took her to the archipelago islands of Indonesia. It was there that Lea was introduced to the traditional art form of cabinet making and the incredible beautiful home furnishings and accessories from exotic woods and natural products.

Being adventurous and having an entrepreneurial spirit Lea immediately saw an opportunity. She had the idea of bringing the beautiful furniture and accessories of Indonesia she had come to admire to southern California, while at the same time helping the local people by starting a factory on the island of Java. After 4 years in the making she opened her first store in Solana Beach, California.

Lea is the sole proprietor of CreAsians Designs, the store of unique artistic furniture and accessories located in the Cedros Design District of Solana Beach, California. She opened her business in October 2004 and has been serving the San Diego community with distinctive designs for over 2 years.
