___________ Why We Design

Llana Sartain,
LEED AP ID&C

From bussing tables at age 14 to earning her degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Llana has learned that style, grace, and always following your intuition are the best ways to approach life. She let those notions guide her when she founded Level Design Studio, ensuring a hands-on, collaborative approach to design.

Born in Santa Fe, NM, Llana is proud to call Atlanta, GA her home. When not producing amazing designs, you may find her on an early morning hike around the lake at Stone Mountain, relaxing with her husband, mike, and son, lennon, or working to make the world a more equitable place as Creative Director of her non-profit, the CoLIFE Foundation.

Sean Key,
Registered Architect

Sean Key is excited to bring his studio, Sean Key Design, to collaborate with Level Design Studio. Sean received his Bachelor of Architecture from Louisiana State University before settling in Atlanta, GA. Together, Level Design Studio and Sean Key Design offer a hands-on approach from space planning and schematic design through procurement and construction administration. Specializing in multi-family, hospitality, and residential design, they create spaces that are exciting and invigorating with a focus on accessibility and usability.

Sean is executive director and one of the founders of The CoLIFE Foundation, a Georgia Non-Profit dedicated to housing sustainability, affordability, and equity.

Emily Klimkiewicz

From shelving books at the Crofton Public Library in Maryland to karaoke-ing her heart out (seriously—she has an encyclopedic knowledge of song lyrics—invite her to your parties!), Emily has always had a passion for consuming culture. After receiving her degrees from New York University and Parsons School of Design, Emily is proud to bring that knowledge to Level Design Studio. Her vast knowledge base and attention to detail, from furnishing to finishings, bring a completeness to her designs.

When not knocking your socks off at karaoke or working with Level Design Studio, you’re most likely to find Emily in her own backyard! The previous owners of her home landscaped beautifully and there’s nothing better than taking that in.
