Lauren's lifelong passion for interior design began at an early age. Some of her earliest childhood memories are of rearranging her bedroom on what seemed like a weekly basis.  Even then, she was busy trying to perfect the furniture layout or trying to convince her Mom that she must have the peach, floral wallpaper for her bedroom.  A Florida native, Lauren received her bachelor's degree from the University of Central Florida before starting Lauren Leonard Interiors in 2008.

In her free time, Lauren can be found embracing all that the South has to offer in design, architecture, food and travel.  She enjoys sharing these experiences with her three children and goldendoodle, Piper.
