Meet our Team

Lauren Hesse

Principal

Lauren’s guiding light for LHD is centred around how she approaches any project with her clients. “We focus on holistic design that is built for real life”.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Her passion for creating beautiful spaces that fit people’s lives comes through with every project. She has an art & architectural history degree in addition to studying interior design and architectural technology for a total of 9 years of post-secondary education and almost 20 years of experience. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
“My educational background allows me to view a building in its various contexts of time. I pay homage to those times as a base while improving upon them to meet contemporary living standards and styles.” 

“When connecting with a new client, the first thing I do is look to understand where they are in their life stage and then identify how to make the space function perfectly for their lifestyle. I build the design for every specific client based on these pillars, plus their unique style preferences.”⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Her inspiration comes from some of the greatest history has to offer. “I’ve always been inspired by history, whether great architects like Frank Lloyd Wright or Gaudi, or artistic groups like the Group of 7 and the European Impressionists —there’s a takeaway from their visual rhetoric that’s relevant to both their time and our own. We need to glean and learn from the past before we can move forward.”

Yasmin Khosravi

Yasmin has been working along side Lauren for the past year and has been in the industry for a few years now. She has always had a fascination for design and how it has the ability to create positive and memorable experiences. When she’s not utilizing design as a creative outlet, painting would be her choice of expression.​
