Leslie Jovanovic was born in the US and grew up in France, in a creative artistic family. Her mother paints, sculpts and draws, her uncle is a furniture designer, her grandmother created beautiful custom-made wedding dresses, her brother is a film editor...

During a modeling career of 10 years that carried her around the World, she filled her mind with new images, different colors and shapes, that brought her to the Antique business.

She opened "Africa" her first gallery in New York, followed by "Antiques & Design by Legend" in New Design District - Miami. This new experience got her more familiar with forms. materials and history about "objects".

The way she decorated her galleries and her great sense of putting it together, creating new comfortable atmospheres, naturally attracted people and propositions of work as a designer decorator.

As today Leslie Jovanovic became " Faux- Finishes & Design Furniture " by Legend
