Leanne Zumbrunnen

Owner - Z Touch Design Services

I’m Leanne Zumbrunnen, and I’ve always believed that you don’t need to overspend to create something you love. Growing up with a single mom, I learned early how to be resourceful and creative with what we had. That spirit carried into middle school when I made my first dress (for middle school graduation)...and several prom dresses in the following years! That skill extended into my love for interiors. From small DIY décor projects to big ones (like installing siding while eight months pregnant!), I’ve learned how to make a house feel like home. Tackling a major remodel on our own home also gave me the experience — and the empathy — that comes with navigating a home remodel.

With an educational background in graphic arts and fashion design, I have designed everything from company logos to wedding dresses. My lifelong passion for design eventually led me to start staging homes part-time in Kansas City as Z Touch Design Services in 2008.

Not long after, I became a marketing manager and staging consultant for a real estate agent who flipped houses. On my very first project, I was supposed to act as the liaison between the agent and his designer. When I showed him a possible new layout for the kitchen, dining, and living area, the idea was instantly approved—and I became the project’s designer. When that home hit the market, it sold in just four hours.

I eventually began helping other investors with their properties and later expanded my experience by working with a large vacant staging company. Along the way, I learned not only what makes a space beautiful but also what homeowners truly want in a home.

While I gained so much knowledge during that time, I also recognized that vacant staging isn’t always practical for most homeowners. Today, I focus exclusively on Home Staging Consultations - making smart thoughtful choices with a realistic approach that works with the homeowners resources to make a home market-ready. It’s the perfect balance of design and value.

I truly believe that being a Design and Staging Consultant in Kansas City is my calling. My consultations are about showing you what’s possible and giving you a roadmap, so you don’t feel stuck or overwhelmed.

I'm a mom to grown children — four kids and two stepsons. I’m married to a lively Irish/German guy who has a whopping 13 siblings! I love creating memories with my family—whether it’s organizing scavenger hunts, throwing theme parties, or putting together family yearbooks.
