Apartment Therapy's tag is saving the world, one room at a time like a kind of designer super hero. We all need one of those! Their mission: help people make their homes more beautiful, organized and healthy by hooking homeowners up with local resources, along with some professional tips and guidance to boot. To ensure suitable resources were supplied, they've launched regional sites based out of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC and Boston. Lucky us managed to coax Leslie, one of Apartment Therapy San Francisco's founding editors, to join our panel of judges responsible for choosing the winner of our My home, my way: Bemz competition.

A night in on the sofa with good wine and a DVD, or clubbing with friends at the latest hot spot in town?
Definitely a night in. I'm a homebody.
Occupation?
Writer / editor.
Aspirations for your blog?
I was one of the two founding editors of Apartment Therapy: San Francisco, and I always wanted it to be the "go to" source for anything regarding home design in the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest.

Best Christmas gift ever?
I'm such a non-techie that it makes me laugh to think it was either my first Mac or my TiVo. (I wish I could think of something more sentimental, but can't offhand -- and those two things changed my life.)
nice :)
