Meet the Leven Guru: Chris Towns
As the founder of Leven Guru, I’ve lived and breathed the design journey. Having moved more than a dozen times, I’ve reimagined every space I’ve called home—each one unique, each one transformed to reflect evolving needs and aspirations. I’ve navigated the challenges, embraced the changes, and celebrated the transformations. These experiences have shaped my deep belief that every home is personal. Great design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about understanding how we live, and creating spaces that support and celebrate that life.
