Lori’s roots in Michigan gave her an early love for art and design, long before she ever knew it would become her life’s work. After a successful career in healthcare as a quality and regulatory analyst, she followed her passion for interiors, earning a degree in interior architecture and spending six years gaining hands-on experience in residential, commercial, and wellness environments. In 2022, her journey expanded at a luxury residential firm in Las Vegas, where she fell even more in love with refined materials and thoughtful, purposeful design. Lori named her studio after her mother’s family name, Cross—a meaningful nod to her heritage—and today she creates classic, welcoming spaces that look beautiful, feel effortless, and work seamlessly for the people who live in them.
