About Lester Lou’s Designs

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Leslie Swenson, the creator of Lester Lou's Designs. I’ve always been a creative person and loved making things that feel unique and meaningful. Giving personalized gifts has always been my favorite—it’s so rewarding to see someone’s face light up when they get something made just for them. That love for creating thoughtful gifts is what inspired me to start designing my own items, and eventually, it led me to glass etching. Once I discovered glass etching, I was hooked. It’s the perfect way to combine creativity with personalization, and I love turning ideas into something tangible and special. Whether it’s a wedding gift, a keepsake, or just something fun, every piece I make feels like its own little story. From there I have been able to continue finding items I am passionate about and creating memorable gifting items for others to give to their loved ones. Read their story
