Welcome back to The Interior Collective. Today, we have an exciting episode lined up for you as we explore the journey of transforming an interior design studio into a thriving lifestyle brand. Joining us is the incredible Kristen Forgione, the creative force behind THELIFESTYLEDCO Design Firm and Retail Shop, and long-time, close, industry friend.

After spending a decade in diverse fields like finance and hospitality, Kristen found her true calling when she attended fashion school in Los Angeles. This experience reignited her childhood passion for color and design, setting her on the path to creating a brand that would soon take the west coast design market by storm. Based in Arizona, THELIFESTYLEDCO has been leading the charge since 2012, serving clients nationwide and building a talented team of Organic Desert loving designers and support staff. Kristen has expertly mastered the art of selling a lifestyle to a wide audience, from affordable home and fashion finds to top-of-the-line, new construction custom homes.

In today’s episode, Kristen will share her inspiring journey of expanding from a design studio to a full-fledged lifestyle brand. We’ll dive into the lessons she’s learned, the challenges she’s faced, and her vision for the future. Whether you’re an aspiring designer or a seasoned pro looking to broaden your horizons, Kristen’s insights will undoubtedly inspire you to think bigger and be bolder.
