In this episode of PowerHouse Cool Collabs, Wendy Cohen sits down with architectural interior designer Lauren Coburn, whose creative path blends fine art, architecture, sustainability, and soulful leadership. From growing up in a family of artists in Michigan to launching her career under design icons Stanley Tigerman and Margaret McCurry, Lauren shares the highs, the hurdles, and the heart that have shaped her 25-year journey leading her own firm -Lauren Coburn, LLC.

Now operating from a stunning new studio in Chicago’s River North, Lauren reflects on how building a team of rising stars has allowed her to focus on what she loves most: connecting with clients and leading the design of spectacular homes. A proud member of the NextHaus Alliance, she’s also helping lead the charge toward more sustainable, resilient, and wellness-focused residential design.

Tune in to hear how Lauren turned early rejection into lasting impact, how she defines success today, and why gratitude and giving back are at the core of her creative philosophy.
