WELCOME TO LSI WORKSHOP!

 

I can’t believe this day is finally here. I’ve been working on building the website and all of our products and programs for almost a year, and I’m so excited to finally share them with you!

To start things off, I want to introduce myself and share a bit of my story. I’m Laura Stein—designer, mentor, and founder of Laura Stein Interiors and LSI Workshop.


 

I’ve spent over 20 years in the interior design industry. I started my business in a spare bedroom in my parents’ house and grew it into a full-scale luxury design firm – with a team, a studio, international awards, publications, and a body of work I’m proud of.

Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to grow a design business. Not just how to manage projects or create beautiful spaces, but how to shape a profitable practice that reflects who you are creatively and professionally. One that’s sustainable, and feels authentic.

But sometimes authenticity requires a shift.


A New Chapter

I started my business in my 30s. My goals were big and I was full of ambition. But after two decades of growth and success, I found myself at a turning point. My business no longer felt aligned with the life I wanted. My priorities had shifted, and I needed something different. I wanted to make a bigger impact on our industry in a way that felt more meaningful and useful.

And after 20 years, I realized I had something else to offer: experience, perspective, and a deep understanding of what it really takes to build a fulfilling creative business. That’s what led me to create LSI Workshop. My priorities have shifted, but my goals are still big.


 

Enter LSI Workshop

LSI Workshop is the next chapter of my career—a space where design, business, and creativity intersect. It’s for decorators and designers who want to grow their businesses in a way that’s rooted in their own creative voice and the quality of what they create—their work, their brand, and the experience they deliver to their clients.

Here’s what we focus on:

  1. Mentorship – Personalized, high-level guidance with actionable strategies and thoughtful support.

  2. Templates – Pre-written, beautifully designed tools that elevate your client experience and save you hours.

  3. Bespoke Branding – For designers ready to align their visual identity with the quality of their work.

  4. Education – Resources to help you grow with confidence and creativity.


Everything here is grounded in real-world experience. I’ve poured my heart into this, and I hope it becomes a place where you feel seen, supported, and inspired to build the business you want—wherever your dreams take you. We will be adding more templates and resources all the time, so check back often.


What to Expect Here

This blog will be a space where I share what I’ve learned—not just about running a business, but about staying connected to your purpose while doing it. I’ll talk about design, branding, client experience, and the moments that have shaped my own journey along the way.

If you’re a designer who loves the work but sometimes struggles with how to make it work, I hope you’ll find something here that resonates with you, supports you, or even sparks a new idea. Whether you’re just getting started or standing at your own crossroads, there is room for your version of success.

This new chapter feels personal and exciting – and I’m glad you’re here to be part of it.
