Course Instructor and Career Mentor: Lauren Ashley, CWEP

Lauren Ashley is the Founder & CEO of Lauren Ashley Experiences.

Lauren is passionate about helping clients make their dreams come true. After earning an Interior Design degree from the Art Institute of Houston, Lauren began creating beautiful spaces and amazing experiences for her clients. She opened Lauren Ashley Experiences to help clients experience design in their everyday lives.

From a young age, Houston Native Lauren Ashley knew she had a passion for design. When her mom denied her request to paint the walls of her room, she turned to the world of virtual design through the Sims games and with unlimited funds, the sky was the limit, and Lauren's creative career began.

After an internship at Walt Disney working in merchandising and earning a degree in Interior Design from the Art Institute of Houston, Lauren set out to curate unforgettable spaces and experiences, especially weddings, for her clients.

For Lauren, events and interiors are two sides of the creative coin. Seven years later, her company stands as a testament to her unwavering determination and dedication to her craft. Representation is a concept that holds immense importance in her heart. Seeing women who look like her pursue a career in the creative arts was a pivotal moment in her life. It solidified her belief that she could follow the path of her dreams.

Now she’s paying it forward. “In every space I have the privilege to touch, my goal is to create an environment that tells a story and reflects the essence of the people who inhabit it. I want each space to be a sanctuary of peace and a true reflection of its occupants, providing a sense of belonging and inspiration.
