DD: You are an Indiana native, a long-time resident of Indianapolis and have watched it transform over the years. Is there something special that you regret that has changed and something that you have embraced as a positive change?
LM: I am so proud of my city. I think all things changing in Indy are for the better. It is a good time to live in Indy with everything going on here. If you are bored, you just are not looking hard enough. We are a good city. Who are your favorite interior designers? LM: I always say I love being an Interior Designer, but the true reward is the people I get to meet and the friends I have made —— that would have never happened if I had not done what I do.
I have a true passion for design. I never feel like it is work because I love it. So much. After 40 years, I still love going in every day. As far as my favorite designers, Kelly Wearstler and Johnathan Adler to name a couple.
Both have been successful not only in design but have made beautiful fabrics and lifestyle products for the masses. DD: If you could have a cocktail with anyone and feel comfortable to discuss your life personally and professionally who would that be?
She has lived such an interesting life and the fact that she is 98 and still designing is amazing. I am sure I could learn so much from her both professionally and personally. What a moment that would be. LM: Absolutely not.
I cannot even imagine retiring. Interior Design is my life. It is what keeps me going. It is what I love, and I hope I can do it for many years to come. LM: The birth of my son Sam.
He has been the true joy of my life. He is a funny, charming man. He is married to a wonderful woman, Adrianne. They were high school sweethearts and have been married for 18 years. They have given me the loves of my life Charlie and Teddy. Nothing is better than being a grandmother. It is the role I cherish most in my life.
