ROOTED IN NEW ORLEANS. NOW MAKING OUR MARK IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
Founded in 2013 by architect Malcolm J. LeBlanc III, AIA, ML Designs began in New Orleans with a belief that great design should be both beautiful and purposeful.
Today, Malcolm and his wife, interior designer Mallory LeBlanc, lead the firm together from Tacoma, Washington. As a husband-and-wife design team, we bring architecture and interior design together under one roof—creating spaces where the architecture, interiors, materials, and details are considered as a whole.
Our New Orleans roots continue to influence our appreciation for character, craftsmanship, and layered interiors, while our Pacific Northwest home brings a different sense of place, light, landscape, and materiality to our work.

DESIGN IS A COLLABORATION.
At ML Designs, we believe the best work comes from a strong relationship between designer and client. Malcolm and Mallory work closely with each client throughout the process, taking the time to understand how you live, what matters to you, and what you want your project to become.
As a husband-and-wife architecture and interior design team, we bring two complementary perspectives to every project. We collaborate with you—and with the contractors, consultants, artisans, and vendors involved—to keep the vision clear and the process connected.
From the first conversation through the final details, we remain personally invested in the work. We believe in open communication, thoughtful problem-solving, and building the kind of trust that allows for better design decisions.
Your home is personal. The design process should be, too.

DESIGNED AROUND THE WAY YOU LIVE.
We listen intently to your aspirations, taking the time to understand not only what you want your space to look like, but how you want it to feel and function. Your lifestyle, priorities, personal aesthetic, and the way you envision living in the space all become part of the design conversation.

DESIGNED AROUND THE WAY YOU LIVE.
We listen intently to your aspirations, taking the time to understand not only what you want your space to look like, but how you want it to feel and function. Your lifestyle, priorities, personal aesthetic, and the way you envision living in the space all become part of the design conversation.
Our collaborative process emphasizes transparency, communication, and trust. We guide you through each decision—from the larger architectural and spatial considerations to the materials, finishes, lighting, cabinetry, furnishings, and finer details—while keeping your vision at the center of the process.
We believe the most meaningful spaces are not defined by a particular style or trend, but by how thoughtfully they reflect the people who inhabit them. By combining your ideas and aspirations with our experience, creativity, and attention to detail, we create spaces that feel distinctly yours—beautiful, functional, and designed to stand the test of time.
