About Perch Projects
Perch Projects provides construction project management and human-centered design direction for commercial, medical, transitional and residential spaces in the greater Los Angeles area with budgets ranging from $300,000 to over $20,000,000. On a mission to both shelter and empower, Perch Projects collaborates with clients’ existing teams, leverages their strengths, and supplies additional skilled resources to transform good ideas into truly inspired reality.
Our company name reflects both our perspective and our purpose. We view projects from two equally important vantage points: from above, assessing high-level challenges and objectives, and from ground level, gathering details about the needs and the aspirations of those who will alight in the finished spaces. We are fueled by a firm belief in the power of the built environment to positively impact those who spend time there – be it years, months or mere moments – seeking rest, renewal and inspiration.

“Leslie Jordan brings amazing insight along with creativity and design talent to her projects. Her design and project management skills helped us better understand the interior furnishings for our 6 story historical building in Skid Row (that) provides 71 efficiency units of affordable housing for homeless women in Los Angeles.”

An entrepreneur who has established multiple for- and non-profit ventures, she is also a mother of three, an ocean-crossing sailor, a fine-arts graduate, and a highly experienced project and program manager.
Committed to social, environmental and economic responsibility, Leslie is a co-founder of Nest Feathers, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing professional design services and resources to families in need. In 2017, as part of the Skid Row Carnival of Love in downtown L.A., Leslie coordinated dozens of service agencies and hundreds of volunteers to provide over a thousand homeless residents with medical screenings and referrals, insurance enrollment, legal support, haircuts, shaves, and foot washings.
