Hi, I'm Lauren Brantley, and I believe that great design is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about creating spaces that inspire, reflect who we are, and make life better. I grew up in the small town of Mount Airy, NC, where I learned the power of hard work, faith, and community; also, the belief that I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. From the age of seven, I was sketching homes in my notebook, dreaming up spaces where people could truly feel at home. I didn’t know it then, but those childhood drawings were the first steps toward my future in design. My journey wasn’t without challenges. I was diagnosed with epilepsy at a young age, and doctors had discouraging predictions about my future. But with unwavering determination and the incredible support of my family, I overcame the condition and proved that nothing could stand in the way of my dreams. When the pandemic hit, I was laid off from my job, but instead of letting that setback define me, I saw it as an opportunity. I leaned into my resilience and dedication, and with that, I built my interior design business from the ground up to provide for my family. As Theodore Roosevelt once said, 'Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty.' I couldn't agree more. Today, I’m grateful to have the chance to do what I love—helping others create the homes of their dreams. Every project is an opportunity to make a lasting, positive impact on someone’s life. I’m truly blessed to be on this journey, and I’m excited to help you create a space that reflects your style and vision. Let’s make your dream home a reality together. www.lashleydesign.com
