""I didn't know I was ambitious. I didn't know I would like business," she recalls. "Early on, I used the platform of creating interiors as a place to just make connections. I brought in my glassblowing friends and friends who were designing furniture; I helped connect the dots between people needing artwork and artists who needed the work." That ethos-of elevating the personal, handcrafted, and artistic-remains the centerpiece of her sought-after practice."
"Her go-to for calming her brain: "Drawing is anti-anxiety for me. I use these cork notebooks by an English company called Beechmore-I like the smooth paper and the cork covering and that they can hold paint and thick materials. I use drawing as a tool a lot, whether I'm exploring scale or testing ideas before they get into a computer.""
Lauren Geremia trained as a painter at RISD and launched Geremia Designs in 2006, earning recognition through projects for tech firms and high-profile residences. She centers art in interiors and actively cultivates connections between clients and artists, integrating handcrafted work and bespoke furniture into projects. Geremia discovered an enjoyment of business early and used interior commissions as platforms to support artisans. Drawing functions as a calming, exploratory practice; she uses Beechmore cork notebooks to test scale and materials before moving ideas into digital tools. She pursues historical and material interests, including biographical study of floristry and the histories of old roses.
