Leonardo Rodriguez

“Design is in every aspect of our lives. I can’t help but engage with the world from a designer’s mindset, even long after I’ve left the studio.”

Leonardo is a licensed architect in the state of New York with over a decade of experience creating thoughtful, place‑specific design solutions. His portfolio spans multifamily, mixed‑use, retail, hospitality, office, interior architecture, and international work across the US, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. At AO, Leonardo plays a central role in early project visioning, leading initial research, developing design stories, managing collaborative teams, overseeing technical execution, and cultivating strong client relationships. Rooted in his belief that well‑roundedness drives successful projects, he brings a balanced and globally informed perspective that results in contextually responsive, enduring designs.
