Women in Business: Livio Designs

Lauren Yarbrough

DIRECTOR OF DESIGN, LIVIO DESIGNS

As Director of Design at Livio Designs, Lauren Yarbrough brings more than expertise to every project - she brings a deep respect for the people who live in the spaces her team transforms. With a portfolio that spans ground-up new construction, whole-home renovations, and single-room refreshes, Lauren leads with both vision and humility, believing great design starts with listening.

Her path into the industry was hands-on from the very beginning. For twenty years, she worked alongside her mother, learning not just the mechanics of design and project management, but the emotional intelligence required to create spaces that truly serve the people inside them. That early experience became the foundation of her leadership approach today - thoughtful, collaborative, and deeply attuned to detail.

At Livio Designs, Lauren leads a team of designers who understand that no two clients - or homes - are alike. Their work is layered and livable, grounded in architectural context and elevated by the personal style of each homeowner. From reimagining a kitchen layout to walking a client through finish selections for a custom build, Lauren’s role is part designer, part guide, and part trusted advocate.

“Our job isn’t to impose a look - it’s to draw out what’s most authentic to the client,” she says. “I always tell people: I can design a beautiful house, but I’d rather help you design a home that fits your life.”

Whether she’s leading a team meeting, sourcing a hard-to-find textile, or walking a construction site in boots and a clipboard, Lauren balances creativity with clear communication, making the process as seamless as the result.

At its heart, her work is about more than aesthetics - it’s about creating spaces that feel like home, and a design experience that feels as considered as the final reveal.
