Meet Lindsey LaPrime, Mitzi Design Challenge Winner

Recent design challenge winner and Spoak member Lindsey LaPrime has been dreaming up spaces since she was little, and today she spends her free time doing just that! It's easy to see why Lindsey's design won our judges' votes in the latest challenge with Mitzi to celebrate the launch of their new collection with designer Megan Molten.

We were excited to catch up with Lindsey and learn more about what inspires her, how she recharges creatively, and more. Read on to get to know Lindsey!

Briefly tell us about your design journey.

Growing up in a small town outside of New Orleans, art and culture were everywhere. In the music, food, and architecture. As a little girl, I watched HGTV and dreamed of spaces I could create. In the late 90s, I was obsessed with Cherubs and had a (DIY) Baroque-styled bedroom. In my first year of college, I studied interior design at a local college, but life had other plans, and I ended up switching my major to human resources. Fast forward to today, I live in Austin, TX, with my husband and little boy. I still work in HR, but interior design is my passion, and I spend most of my free time dreaming of creating beautiful spaces. I'm so happy to have found Spoak, and I love how it allows me to creatively express myself.

Where do you find your inspiration?

I find inspiration in the challenge, helping friends design a space with their aesthetic or a Spoak Daily Play prompt! I like to jump out of my design comfort zone and experiment. My personal style is eclectic and trendy. And, I find inspiration in color (loving all pink), a piece of furniture, great fashion, or a celebrity home. I love Emma Chamberlain's home right now; it gives me life! I love Anthropologie, CB2, West Elm, and Lulu and Georgia. Also, publications like Domino magazine and Arch Digest.

Tell us about a designer or artist you love. What about them and their work are you drawn to?

Currently, Sally Breer, Kelly Wearstler, @Britdotdesign, I love mixing styles and materials in one space as long as there's a standard color scheme. Their work is thought-provoking and playful!

‍

What do you do on your time off to recharge creatively?

My husband is a wildly talented artist and animator, so we share a creative space. At the end of the day, we separately work on a creative project. I'm in a cozy chair, and he's on his computer. I also like to cook, and I enjoy creating recipes!
