Inspiration – Designer Spotlight – Laura McCroskey
How did you get started in design?
Growing up around an artist and art, I developed a life long love for beauty. This upbringing instilled a deep appreciation in me for art’s power to evoke emotion and inspire change, shaping my own creative journey. Since then, my international travels and love for cooking have informed much of my eclectic style. I am also always inspired by couture and classical European design.
I specialize in creating personal interiors that are fresh, livable, and beautifully coordinated. Based in Kansas City, I continue to work on residential and commercial projects throughout the United States and beyond.

How do you approach problem-solving in design?
The design process starts before lines are ever drawn on a construction document. I believe in creating spaces that enhance our client’s life – both functionally and aesthetically. For us, the design process begins with a discussion about what a client needs their space to do, and what aesthetic will bring a spark to their life. I also firmly believe that, when designing a kitchen, one should walk out a recipe to make sure everything is in the right place to suit one’s lifestyle. Cooking zones are imperative to a well-designed kitchen.

How do you ensure the design meets clients’ expectations?
Each of our projects starts with an in-depth conversation to understand the client’s objectives for their space. We then identify the aesthetic elements that will ignite their passion. Throughout the process, we prioritize meeting and exceeding our clients’ expectations, ensuring that their vision is not only realized but surpassed with creativity and precision.
