Founder & CEO
PHILOSOPHY / STYLE
Lisa believes in creating environments where cherished memories are made, to essentially set the stage for life’s stories. These surroundings must achieve a curated, livable luxury while still reflecting the client’s unique personality. Creating customized spaces offers a world of options - it is our job as your design team to make design fun and easy, to educate you along the way, and to introduce you to people, products and places you may not have encountered on your own. With that we begin to cultivate your dream space, taking it to perfection by adding our signature style, which is authentic, polished, supple, splendorous, rustic, easy, chic, comfortable, time honored and organic.
Lisa Davenport has been the driving force, creative director, and inspiration behind LDD Interiors in Middlefield, CT and Naples, FL for over 25 years. With an educational background in graphic design and visual merchandising, Davenport went on to study Interior Design at Paier College of Art. Since then, Lisa has been creating chic, comfortable and polished interiors all the while supporting her “Made in America” mantra and objectives within each project. LDD Interiors is dedicated to creating and supporting The American Dream with goods and products made right here in the USA. This commitment to supporting home grown craftsmanship and manufacturing is unsurpassed and has led Lisa to discover amazing local and national brands which she is dedicated to specifying in each project.
For Davenport creating inviting and welcoming interiors is a passion; environments where memories are made, families gather to create life’s stories, and homes which reflect the client’s unique personality. Lisa carefully curates spaces with new and old, ensuring an authentic and individualized house that clients can lovingly call home. LDD Interiors has also been called upon to design magnificent gardens and outdoor spaces, including landscape design and commercial project alike.
An industry insider, Lisa has led the popular Made in America tour at prestigious High Point Market and starred on panels in the enviable New York A&D Building speaking to the high-end design community as an expert. She is often called upon for her expertise for personal appearances and high-profile editorials in Modern Farmhouse, Design NYC, FLOWER, Luxury Pools, Florida Design, and Designers Today magazines. Lisa has also created fun and fabulous tablescapes for splashy charity events and is recently a cover feature for Design + Décor Magazine’s Top 25 Design Firms.
No stranger to her beloved charity affiliations, Lisa is an active member and showhouse participant for a variety of incredibly worthy causes such as Valerie’s House in Florida and The Durham Fair Association in Connecticut. Lisa is married to the love of her life, Joe, and she can’t imagine this ride called life without him. Together they have two children, Ashley & Joey, and two grandsons.
