"After Los Angeles native Aaron Leshtz earned his degree in architecture from the University of Southern California, he accepted a position at Studio Sofield in New York City. It was more than a job, but a pivotal period that left a lasting impression. "Stylistically it was very different from what I had done before or even studied in school," says Leshtz. "The work was varied, thoughtful, and always emphasized craft and materiality over anything else.""
"Under the mentorship of world-class designers who provided an array of professional experiences, Leshtz learned the importance of detail, and gained an invaluable understanding of the difference between style and quality. In 2016, Leshtz and his wife Harper Halperin founded AAHA Studio, noted for a more personal, concierge-style approach. The duo wholeheartedly offers guidance and support during each phase of a project."
"Always appreciative of woodwork, Leshtz savors the rare occasions he is able to create objects and furniture by hand. It's not always easy with a packed schedule, filled with soccer practices to attend and dinners to prepare. The architect describes his four kids as built-in "off" switches who help him stay grounded. They remind him to switch gears and to disconnect from his ever-present devices, at least for a few hours a day."
