MARSHA FERRALL
LOS ANGELES
As the sun emerges from behind the morning haze, retired flight attendant turned interior designer Marsha Ferrall shares stories of her childhood years in Los Feliz. She knows Los Angeles in a way few under the age of thirty can fathom, but she’s a champion of its ever-evolving landscape. “The Los Angeles of the past five years has rekindled my love for the city,” she says, and it’s her hometown’s “new surge of creative energy” that makes her eager to share it with the uninitiated.
