Working in corporate America for many years, I gained vast knowledge on how to run a business and more importantly…how not to. In 1989, I started Lee Douglas Interiors combining my name (pronounced Laura Lee), and my husband’s name Doug. The outcome: Lee Douglas Interiors. What’s really embarrassing is we actually hired an advertising / creative firm to develop that.
I had no idea Lee Douglas would become what it is today, but one by one I hired these amazing people that kept taking us to the next level and changing the dynamic of this company. I soon realized that sometimes the best plan is to be open to change.
I love my work and I’m good at what I do. I love working with my clients, developing my designers, refining our customer support, developing products, expanding the stores, and focusing as much on the details as I do the big picture. I also love going home every night to my same partner who has been there since the beginning, Doug and the three LDI mascots Roman, Zoe, and Kit.
My goal for you is to have an experience when you visit. I want you to walk in our stores and be bouncing to the beat while you’re shopping. I want you to feel inspired, be greeted by a cool staff and made to feel welcome no matter who you are. I want the experience to feel good, to look good, to sound good and to smell good. I want you to open the doors of our website and feel the same exact way.
My dream was to be the best at what we do and stand out from all the rest. I’m all in; continually adding lines, products and locations, making us a big deal. I want you to be part of this- Thank you for your business, friendship and loyalty.
Carpe Diem!
