Meet Our Team

Sugandha Rosenhaft

Owner (CPR & First -Aid Certified)

Hi my name is Sugandha and I’m the creative force behind La Dee Da. I’ve loved art my whole life. I have been painting, drawing, singing and crafting since I was a child. From my first mark makings as a toddler to a formal education and career in graphic design, being creative is in my bones! I grew up in an environment that fostered the love of the arts in me as a young girl. My father exposed me to a plethora of projects and different mediums of painting at a very young age. My mother, who ran a clothing boutique, taught me how to sew. I spent my childhood learning how to batik, tie-dye, decoupage, sing, dance and explore my world through different creative mediums. I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Atlanta. I am a mother to two amazing teenagers (Samara and Liam) and married to my best friend for 20 years. Together they make my world complete! See the interview on Voyage Atlanta.

Itzya has been a part of the La Dee Da team since the fall of 2016. She studied early childhood education at Georgia State University, with plans to become a kindergarten teacher. However, she quickly fell in love with the dynamic day-to-day runnings of studio. At La Dee Da she has discovered the perfect blend of creativity and her passion for children and people. Outside of the studio, you can find Itzya spending time with family and friends, dancing, and enjoying new restaurants.
