Living with Lolo, a Scottsdale-based luxury interior design and licensed design-build firm, has been named to the Inc. Regionals 2026 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States — recognized as one of the fastest-growing interior design firms in Arizona. The firm placed in the Southwest region, which covers companies in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Living with Lolo is one of the only interior design and design-build firms in Arizona to earn this designation.
I used to pick up copies of Inc. Magazine in the airport. I would flip through them between flights, reading about founders who had built something real, and I would think, someday. Someday I want to be in this magazine. So when I found out that Living with Lolo was named to the Inc. Regionals 2026 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the Southwest, I had to sit with that for a minute. Out of thousands of companies across Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, we made the cut.  I say "somehow" but I actually know how. I know exactly when the trajectory shifted.

Going All In When Everyone Else Pulled Back

It was during Covid. The world was shutting down and a lot of businesses were pulling back on marketing, cutting spend, going into survival mode. I understood the instinct. But I saw something different and our biggest opportunity. People were home. They were staring at their walls, their kitchens, their bathrooms, and realizing they wanted more from the spaces they lived in every single day. So instead of pulling back, I went all in. On marketing. On hiring. On building the kind of firm I had always envisioned. That bet paid off. And it set the foundation for everything that has happened since.

"Between business travel and kids’ schedules, we had no time for design decisions. Living with Lolo’s process gave us total confidence to hand over the reins. Our Paradise Valley home is now polished, peaceful, and perfectly us- without the stress or guesswork."

One Team From Design Through Construction

The thing that has always set Living with Lolo apart is not just our design. It is how we deliver it. We are one of the few firms in Arizona that holds both an interior design credential and an active Arizona Registrar of Contractors general contractor license. That means our clients do not have to manage a designer and a contractor separately. They work with one team from the first sketch all the way through the final nail. No miscommunication between two separate companies. No finger pointing when something does not go as planned. Just one team with one vision executing every detail from concept to completion. That model has resonated with homeowners across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and the greater Phoenix area in a big way. Our clients really want someone to own the entire process, especially when they are investing at the level our clients invest.

The Projects and People That Keep Us Growing

Our work has always been rooted in whole-home remodels, new construction interior design, large-scale luxury renovations, and furnishing projects. But what has shifted over the past few years is the scale and the profile of the clients who are finding us. We are working on projects with million dollar plus budgets now. We are designing and building homes for entrepreneurs, athletes, and executives who expect the best and will not settle for anything less. That is the kind of client who pushes you to get better, and our team has risen to every challenge. Speaking of our team, that has been one of the most rewarding parts of this growth. When we open a position, we are getting top-tier candidates who specifically want to work with us. They have seen our projects. They know our reputation. And they want to be part of what we are building. That tells me more about where this company is headed than any award ever could.

What Is the Inc. Regionals List?

Inc. Regionals is a regional extension of Inc. Magazine's Inc. 5000, the longest-running ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. Companies are evaluated on revenue growth over a three-year period and must submit financials for independent verification to qualify. The Southwest region covers Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.
 
Making the list is not based on submissions or nominations. It requires documented, verified growth. For Living with Lolo to appear among the fastest-growing private companies in a region that includes tens of thousands of businesses is a reflection of what the firm has built since 2020 and where it is going.

"We hired Lauren’s team while relocating to North Scottsdale for work, and they took care of every detail- from contractor coordination to final styling. We literally walked into a fully designed home that felt both elevated and easy to live in. For busy professionals, this is the only way to do it."

What This Means Going Forward

Being named to the Inc. list is not the destination, it is a stop along the way. We are continuing to invest in our people, our processes, and the client experience because that is what got us here in the first place.

Being named to the Inc. Regionals list means our growth is independently verified, not self-reported. We grew because our clients referred us and because the design-build model we built creates better outcomes than the traditional design-then-hand-off approach. The recognition is a measure of what our clients experienced, and that is what I am most proud of. — Lauren Lerner
