about Lou

Design has always played an important role in my life. At age 5, I realized that I could drag large pieces of furniture on a small rug and I've been rearranging furniture and spaces ever since. After receiving a degree from the School of Architecture at LSU, I’ve enjoyed designing interiors for both residential and commercial clients.

Specifically, I enjoy understanding how spaces affect people and what enables them to feel comfortable or not. I find that intentionally affecting our outer world promotes meaningful change for our inner world. This connection between place and its emotional impact is the driving force behind my designs. It's also why I naturally became interested in incorporating the principles of Feng Shui. I believe magic happens in a space when the sense of place merges with a sense of purpose.

My husband, Bruce Stewart and I, coauthored, Your Way Home - The Psychology of Place Inside and Out in 2005. This book blends our 2 passions - design and emotional wellness. Our second book, Merging 2 Nests (2010) helps couples come to grips with the emotional and organizational challenges they must face when blending their households.
