History
Established in 2012.
What began as a blog focused on Kristen's home renovation has grown into a design firm focused on new builds, large scale renovations, and interior furnishings. Over the years, we've refined our trademarked style into what we call Organic Desert Living - muted colors, endless texture, and inspired by the calm desert.
We're proud of our timeless style, quality, and obsession with the details. We have a contagious energy and passion for original design, while focusing on a collaborative experience between our vision, process, and love for design.
Thelifestyledco has grown to open two retail shops and an online boutique offering fashion, furniture, and home decor collections.
Meet the Business Owner: Kristen F.
Kristen Forgione is the creative force behind our Design Firm and Retail Shops, specializing in a minimal and modern aesthetic called, Organic Desert Living. After 10 years in career fields from finance to hospitality, it was her stint in Los Angeles fashion school that reignited her childhood passion for all things color and design. Now calling Arizona home, LCO has led the west coast design market since 2012 with clients nationwide, a design studio, retail shops and a team of desert loving designers and support staff.
With expansion top of mind, Vince Forgione, Kristen's husband, joined the team full time in 2019 as LCO's CEO. With a career background in sales and management, Vince brings knowledge, passion and a contagious energy that is truly unmatched.
When they aren't creating, Kristen and Vince spend their days with their two small boho baby girls, two pups, or traveling the world--one big (or little) destination at a time.
