About the Designer

Hi – I am Lori Whitaker-Noel, Lori Noel for short. I am a designer with a focus on Lifestyle development. I have been designing spaces now for over 30 years. They were not easy years and there were times when I had to work in various industries to survive, but these years have been extremely rewarding! I am blessed beyond words that I can successfully assist clients with the designs of their dreams - across the United States.

I grew up during a time where my idea of designing spaces was not exactly the norm. When everyone was doing neutrals, I was embracing color. I still do! For me, it’s never been about following trends, but declaring individuality. If, you have ever been ridiculed for your vision; judged by old-fashioned standards and talked about, you know where I’m coming from. Elitist attitudes plagued the industry at that time. Only a ‘certain style and standard of design was considered upscale.’

Street designs, living organically, ethnic cultures and alternative lifestyle philosophies did not fit into this rigid category. As a result, ‘personalized design’, or design which was contrary to the designer’s vision was often patronized, if recognized at all. My style of design for each client is simple: I give the clients what they want.



Thank God for HGTV and Public Television! They have brought lifestyle and personal design to everyone. Because living well is for everyone!

LET US SHOW YOU HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR SPACE FROM AVERAGE TO IMPRESSIVE!
