Biography

Leonie Cornelius is an award-winning interior architect, garden designer, author and broadcaster whose work is rooted in connection- to nature, place and people. Raised within a multicultural upbringing spanning Germany, Greece and Ireland, Leonie developed an early sensitivity to how environments, culture and landscape shape how we live and feel. Based on Ireland’s wild Atlantic coast, her practice moves fluidly between interior architecture and garden design, creating spaces that nurture wellbeing, biodiversity and emotional connection. Her six acclaimed show gardens have earned multiple awards at Bord Bia Bloom, and she is a trusted voice across national media, celebrated for creating spaces of connection and nourishment.
