Lisa Queen Design (LQD) is a Los Angeles-based full service, licensed interior design services firm that evolved over the many years from the “meraki” of Lisa Queen. The mother-daughter team specializes in design build, interior furnishings, and art curation. Lisa and Sara Queen work side by side to turn design dreams into reality and inspire beauty and innovation in art and life. LQD provides interior architectural design direction, material specifications for construction, and sourcing and placement of all interior furnishings. LQD also provides curated art selections, custom bedding, and new tableware - even helping prepare clients for important entertaining events at home. Lisa has been revered in the press as a lifestyle expert sharing her opinions on a wide range of topics covering all things design and home entertainment.
Lisa Queen, Founder & Principle Designer
Lisa's first design project was her own home in Kansas City, MO back in 1995. It was a five story brick house with a steel metal staircase winding up the center. She combined her love for edgy architects like Frank Israel, with her enthusiasm to use cutting edge material selections.
Before design, her career was (surprisingly!) in aviation. Lisa was a corporate pilot, flying across the US for private clients. This aviation history comes through in her ability to think on her feet, an acute attention to detail, and a better than average understanding of the mechanical side of the business. Besides that, it makes for fun conversations!
Lisa created LQD after relocating from the midwest to California near the millennial change, some 21 years ago. She welcomed her daughter, Sara, into the fold in 2016 to deepen the offerings and to share the fun of making this a life calling.
Lisa holds accreditation from the California Council of Interior Design Certification. She is also LEED certified by the US Green Building Council.

Sara Queen, Senior Designer
Sara earned her MA in Arts Business from The Drucker School of Management and what is now the Center for Business and Management of the Arts at Claremont Graduate University. She joined LQD in 2016 after some time spent in the art world working for a contemporary art gallery and an art advisory firm. Sara has attended art fairs and gallery exhibitions around the world including in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Mexico City, New York, and Miami. She brings not only her art world knowledge and education, but perhaps just as importantly, her curiosity and passion for all things art and design.
Since teaming up with Lisa, she has completed eight projects as project manager as well as being lead designer on four projects in 2019. She continues her love of art as she deepens her education and experience in the interior design world. Her contribution to the LQD design team has given it a new dimension bringing not only a new art focused attention but a point of view of another generation to materials, color, texture, and structure.

“Lisa’s work is innovative in both the design build and interior furnishings aspects of her work. She is efficient and honest - two qualities I value in both personal and professional relationships. Lisa’s attention to detail paralleled my own, enabling me to trust that the final product was going to be what we both envisioned. I have always been pleased with both the process and the results working with LQD.”
