She truly took the time to understand our vision and brought fresh, innovative ideas that far exceeded our expectations.

  • “We highly recommend Lauren!! She was the designer working with MAC Reno when we redesigned the interior of our home. The process was so easy and Lauren designed exactly what we wanted. We had multiple options in term of design and budget. We loved how simple the process was, I believe it started with her looking at my Pinterest account to get the ball rolling. . I can’t wait to work with her again to finish the furniture and decor. Lauren has an amazing eye, very knowledgeable and truly listened. We look forward to working with her again!!”
