MEET LAURA

Fueled by connections, story-

telling, and the intertwined roots

that bring us all 'home',

Laura became an interior designer to provide a supportive design process that connects each client to the rituals, intentions and habits they wish to obtain- individually or as a family. Having studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology and at the New York School of Interior Design, her passion for amplifying the voices and work of artisans in South America paired with her love for sourcing, paved the path for CASALAU Design Studio + Shop.

At CASALAU, our ethos revolves around understanding how our environments impact the way we live; how we feel, how we fulfill our daily routines, how we connect with ourselves and how we connect with others. While we seek to deliver beautiful spaces, there is also a deeper opportunity to create spaces that tell a story, prioritize function and inspire intentional living. We aim to be the liaison between a vision and an executed environment that encourages our client’s mental clarity, joy and purpose- through the vehicle of design.'

    Working with Laura was an absolute dream, and we can’t recommend her enough! She completely transformed our back storage closet into Pandora’s VIP salon, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. From the very first consultation, it was clear that Laura’s passion for design was genuine, and that energy was present in every step of the process. Her creativity knows no bounds. We came to her with a rough idea, and what she delivered was beyond anything we could have imagined. Not only did she perfectly interpret our vision, but she elevated it, turning a small, underused space into an elegant, functional oasis. Laura’s ability to see potential where others might not was nothing short of magical. In addition to her incredible design talent, Laura was a dream to work with in every other regard. Her communication was flawless—she kept us updated every step of the way and made sure we were always in the loop. Her organization and attention to detail were unmatched, ensuring that the project ran smoothly from start to finish. What really sets Laura apart is her resourcefulness. She took every challenge we threw her way—whether it was budget constraints, limited space, or design restrictions—and found a creative solution. It’s rare to find someone who is not only highly skilled but also able to work within practical limitations while still delivering exceptional results. Laura is truly a creative genius, and we are so grateful for her work. She turned our vision into a reality in a way that exceeded our wildest expectations. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome and will absolutely be turning to Laura for any future projects!

  • Full Service Furnishing & Styling, Upper East Side, NYC, Gabrielle M

    Laura and I met years ago but recently reconnected after I reached out on Instagram in desperate need of design help. After renovating our 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom Manhattan apartment, I was at a place of complete overwhelm and decison fatigue and ultimately decided I could not achieve what I wanted by doing it myself. Not only does Laura have impeccable taste but she is so insanely talented and creates magic in every single project she touches. From the very start, Laura was invested in learning about us, our rituals and how we want to live in our home so that she could create a space that represents us and she did EXACTLY that. Laura made us feel comfortable the moment we started working together, she listened thoroughly, over communicated every step of the process to ensure we stayed aligned and had the most exquisite follow-up throughout our entire working relationship. I felt so confident in Laura executing the most perfect final product that I gave her full creative reign. I had the utmost confidence and trust in Laura’s ability to bring my vision to life and stay with our budget Which was an important factor for us. She completely transformed our apartment and my fiancé and I were and still are absolutely blown away by the professionalism, transparency, customer service and design CASALAU provided to us. Our apartment is as beautiful and aesthetic as it is functional and we could not be more grateful to CASALAU Design for that. Hiring Laura was the best decision we could’ve made and my only regret was not hiring her from the very beginning of our project. 10/10 Recommend, hiring CASALAU Design will be the best investment you can make in your home. Look no further, your future self will thank you!

    “Thankful for Laura’s patience and excellent taste! It was a really good experience, especially since this was my first time ever working with an interior designer. I am so glad I was introduced to her. She helped me with making an important decision. I'm really happy with the outcome.”

  • Design Direction, South Plainfield, NJ, Park Avenue Aesthetics

    Working with Laura was such a pleasure. She was so helpful and knowledgeable and provided us with a concept that not only looked beautiful but was feasible to our budget. She even sat in on our call with the cabinetry company so that we could ensure the correct product was ordered and configured. Selecting all of the accessories, furniture, paint, wall fixtures etc. was as easy as clicking a button. Laura strategically outlined everything for us so that all we had to do was hit enter and swipe a card. It was a phenomenal experience.

  • Design Direction, Little Silver, NJ Rachel D.

    "Working with Laura has been nothing short of exceptional. Beyond her innate talent and sense of design, she is genuinely one of the nicest professionals I’ve ever worked with. She pours her heart into each project and her only goal is to make sure her clients are happy with the end result. Laura immediately knew what I was looking for when I engaged her to help style the focal shelves in my bedroom - carefully sourcing to curate cohesive yet differentiated masculine and feminine sections that speak to my husband and I..I have received numerous complements on these shelves every time someone visits my home."

  • Interior Design Consultation, Atlantic Highlands, NJ, Gavriella E.

    The consultation was incredible. We were in the process of buying our next home, and before the session, my husband and I felt totally overwhelmed. We had a general direction and idea of what we wanted to create but no idea how to bridge the gap and bring it to life. Laura was so professional, extremely flexible, and accommodating. There are a lot of different steps and stresses when closing on a property and she made us finally feel excited about being able to make this house our own and gave us tangible tips to do so. Our vision will take time, but Laura was so helpful in guiding us in our highest priority decisions and helping us answer our pressing questions. We cannot wait to work with her again once we finally close!
