Why Palmer Studio
The Methodology
Every brief is approached with genuine curiosity, original thinking, and an instinct for what will make this particular experience feel inevitable. A sunrise picnic in the Sahara, when the sand is cold and the silence is total. The sommelier in Provence who already has your favorite wine on ice. Generational recipes lovingly shared from a family home in Naxos. This is our reach. This is what we do best.
Start Planning
Every itinerary is built from a genuine point of view — around a mood, a feeling, or for our corporate clients, something more specific: trust, genuine connection, or simply the experience of feeling like a person rather than a professional.
Start Planning
The properties that don't advertise. The guides who don't take new clients. The experiences that exist just outside what's bookable — unless you've spent years building the relationships that make them possible.
Start PlanningA private itinerary for two and a corporate leadership retreat receive identical rigour, attention and creative thinking. The audience changes. The brief changes. The quality doesn't. The clients Palmer Studio works best with, hand over a brief and trust completely.
Start PlanningFounder and Experience Designer
Leslie approaches travel the way a director approaches a scene — with a point of view, an eye for detail, and a genuine belief that the best experiences don't happen by accident. They're designed.
Her background spans anthropology, storytelling and cultural exploration, with a career built at the intersection of strategy, creativity and experience design. Before founding Palmer Studio, she collaborated with some of the world's most innovative brands — bringing the same instinct for original thinking to every brief she touched. That instinct now informs everything Palmer Studio does.
Whether tracing the roots of a craft tradition in China, stepping into a historic landscape in Jordan, or simply slowing down long enough to actually feel the rhythms of a place — Leslie designs itineraries that allow for both discovery and reflection.
Work With Leslie
"Leslie was so helpful planning our trip to Mexico. Not only does her passion and excitement for travel make the whole process easy and fun, she was able to work within some difficult constraints and found an incredible place for us to stay. Booking transportation and everything through her made the whole thing so easy and gave us peace of mind leading up to, and through the whole trip."
