Heather Scheid Pando grew up in rural Wisconsin and spent much of her childhood running wild in the great outdoors.  This early exposure to all things natural, in addition to a degree in theatre/biology and an interior decorator mother was the catalyst for her creative vision and ultimately what fueled her fire to found Little World Design. After years of working under the creative direction of Krislyn Meyer-Komorav, Heather became owner and artist of LWD.  Heather finds organic forms compelling, inspiring and uplifting, her objects d’art aim to blend the surreal with the natural.
