By the time Simone was five she was rarely seen without a bag of fabric scraps in tow. Both friends and family were quick to note that Simone recognized the finer details in life - she would decorate their dinners and parties, recommend gifts and help pick out their outfits. Simone, staying true to form departed for Paris where she attended the Parsons School of Design. Upon returning to Los Angeles, Simone has worked as a fashion designer and stylist, but has since evolved her talents into Simone LeBlanc Incorporated; a lifestyle consulting company.
The source of inspiration in Simone's life comes from her mother. "She is an extraordinarily creative woman who sees beauty and creative possibilities where others do not." This sentiment would account for the sweet disposition that comes along with Simone's rather sophisticated exterior presence. Simone's insight for the future "ladies" of the world: "Be diligent in finding your own voice, and trust it. Be kind to yourself, and know that if you keep working at what you believe in with awareness and integrity, you will achieve whatever you set out to accomplish."
