Hello & Welcome to my blog!
/My name is Lara and I’m so glad you’re here!
WOW! 2020 is not what any of us expected. Just like you, during this covid-19 pandemic our many worlds are melding into one… Boss/Employee, Spouse, Parent, Teacher, Student, Chef, House cleaner, Gardner, Handyman, Board executive, Accountant, Therapist, Friend, Nurse, Prayer warrior, and so many other roles we currently find ourselves accomplishing all within one single location… our HOME!
As a former designer for the largest Teknion contract furniture dealership in North America, I specialized in workplace space planning and creative design strategy for large companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. My interior design specialty has since shifted to boutique style residential interior design services, where I deliver an intimate experience for my clients and cater to their unique home interiors. I provide my clients with invaluable guidance and detailed design to deliver a balance of beauty, function and personal taste while saving them valuable time and investment to spend more quality time on the things that matter with the people who matter most in their lives.
My Why…
We are all working from home a lot more than usual, and although it could be temporary, it quite possibly may become the new normal. I’d like to take my knowledge and experience in office and residential design and share it with you! I will take you behind the scenes with me as I share tips and tricks for a functional and glamorous home office and other spaces you can implement in your own home. I want to share the best technology for productivity at home. I want to share how to stay organized, comfortable, best lighting and art tips and so much more!
I believe that design is a process of dialogue and feeling the evolution of design, it stems from an understanding of basic physical and emotional needs of the user. Think about those needs that you personally have and as my former internship mentor and world-renowned interior designer, Kelly Hoppen says “Think about how a room will be used before you make a start”.
Speaking of making a start… this blog has been something I have thought about for a while so this is a big exciting step for me along with what’s to come in the next 8 weeks. I am new to the world of blogging and it won’t be perfect by any means but not everything needs to be perfect to still be wonderful. If you have a blog I would love to read it, please drop a link to your blog in the comments section along with one tip you learned when you first started it that you would like to pass along.
Stay Tuned…
The first project I will be sharing with you is near and dear to my heart… stay tuned tomorrow for more details on my blog and Instagram!
