Meet the Designer
Born in Augusta, GA, Chandra Thompson's fascination with design began as child. When others girls were drawing pictures of butterflies and rainbows, Chandra, inspired by images from shelter mags such as Architectural Digest, was drawing architectural floor plans, elevations, and interiors of a dream home for her family of three brothers, a sister, loving parents, and family pets.
Ms. Thompson's entrepreneurial spirit was also present at an early age. Never one to just play dress-up with her Barbie dolls, she and her younger sister made sure their Barbies took control of their destinies by conjuring up all types of businesses to run from chic fashion boutiques to their own five-star restaurants.
Recognizing she needed a solid foundation in business before she made the leap of faith to strike out on her own, Chandra attended Paine College where she earned her B.S. in Accounting and then later pursued an M.B.A. in Marketing from the University of Georgia. And although she was working in corporate America for a Fortune 500 company, her need to express her creative side and love of design drove her to achieve a Professional Certificate of Interior Design from the Sheffield School of Interior Design in 2008.
After designing several rooms for herself and clients and creating an interior design lifestyle blog, LivLuvDesign, L.L.C. was officially launched in early 2011 as a residential and commercial interior design firm.
Chandra Thompson lives in Atlanta, GA with her husband and three beautiful children.
