THE BEST OF THE BEST

LORNA GROSS

President & Principal Designer, Lorna Gross believes great design is highly individualized and unique, yet is also comfortable and livable. Considered the consummate client advocate, Lorna has a talent for unearthing statement pieces that embody the essence of her clients.

Hailing from Louisiana and New York and currently living in the DC Metro area, Lorna is as comfortable with the formal bone china dinner as she is with the raucous crawfish boil or crab feast. From sugarcane fields to corporate America, Lorna infuses a lifetime of dynamic influences and world travel into her design and her firm’s values and business practices. Her father was a contractor and her mother a teacher and seamstress who emphasized hard work and education. Following in their traditions, Gross holds both a bachelor’s degree and MBA from University of Maryland’s Smith School and a B.A. in Interior Design from Marymount University. She is a board member of the International Women’s Forum and the Design Trust.

Gross received the prestigious Designer of Distinction Award from the American Society of Interior Designers and has been recognized as one of the top designers in the region by Home and Design, Amara Home, Expertise and LUX Life Magazine, among others.
