Leslie Tyrone graduated Princeton University with an A.B. in Architecture, and Columbia University with a Masters in Architecture.

She traveled to Berlin for two months on a Getty Travel Grant to study Mies van der Rohe's European work in conjunction with a show at the MoMA by Terry Riley and Barry Bergdoll entitled "Mies in Berlin". The Grant grew out of a PhD joint seminar conducted through Columbia and the MoMA on Mies van der Rohe. She was Columbia University's Ware Slide Library Curator for two years while in school. After finishing Columbia she worked for Skidmore Owings & Merrill in the transportation group, then returned home to Atlanta to work for Perkins + Will in the education group. She then spent a year working on public art and art gallery projects for Amy Landesberg Architects, including a successful bid for Atlanta Airport public art and Mason Murer Fine Art.
