Leta Verbena

Pops of color have been a part of my story since the beginning. Having been raised in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, I was constantly exposed to great color palettes throughout nature: the dense green forests of the Cascade Mountains, all the berry tones from my grandparent’s farm in the Columbia River Gorge, golden Aspen trees in the fall. I left the Pacific Northwest for Los Angeles to attend USC, where I obtained degrees in Mathematics and Communications, followed by a law degree from Pepperdine. My color story now featured crisp whites and beiges of the sandy beaches along PCH to the magenta bougainvillea of Palm Springs.
