LAURA NAILY SOSA NEWH, AIA, IIDA, ASID 

A renown interior designer from South Texas, Laura Sosa embarked on her design journey with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts, majoring in Interior Design, from The Art Institute of Houston, and a Master’s in Business Administration with a focus on Construction Management from Dallas Baptist University.

Based in Houston, Laura has carved out an impressive career spanning over a decade. Her work transcends local boundaries, having made significant contributions to interior design on both national and international stages. Laura’s portfolio boasts a diverse array of multi-million-dollar projects that cover various sectors, including Healthcare, Commercial, Multi-Family, Senior Living, Residential, and Research-Based Design. Her deep-rooted passion for Design and Architecture drives her to constantly push the envelope, taking on challenges that many might shy away from.

Laura's expertise has not been confined to the United States alone. Her talent and skill have taken her across the globe, particularly to the Middle East, where she has seamlessly integrated her design skills into culturally rich and diverse projects. Her ability to blend regional and religious design elements with the client's personal style is a testament to her versatility and sensitivity as a designer.

In 2021, Laura established Laso Design, a design firm with a mission that mirrors her own professional ethos. The firm is dedicated to creating spaces that celebrate cultural diversity and reflect the unique style of each client, all while promoting well-being. Under her leadership, Laso Design has quickly made a name for itself in the design community.

Outside of her professional life, Laura enjoys traveling, exploring new culinary experiences, and spending quality time with her husband, family, friends, and her beloved dogs. Her passion for exploration and new experiences is evident both in her personal life and her approach to design.

An award-winning interior designer, Laura Naily Sosa continues to inspire and influence the world of interior design with her innovative approach and unwavering dedication to excellence.

LASO  \ ˈla-sō \

Noun

  1. Formed by combining the first two letters of her mother's first name with the first two letters of her father's last name, symbolizing the significance of family, faith, and a strong foundation. 

    Example - To honor her family’s love and unity, LASO was created to embrace the two people that instilled work ethic, responsibility, honor, and overall her faith in God.

Laura Sosa established Laso Design in 2021 as a heartfelt tribute to her parents. As the first in her family to graduate from college and a first-generation American, Laura wanted to honor the two individuals who instilled in her a strong work ethic and an unyielding belief in aspiring for greatness. She achieved this by incorporating the first two letters of her mother’s name and her father’s last name into her company's name, LASO Design.

Laura's Hispanic heritage profoundly shapes her journey and the core values driving her work. Her parents, who emigrated from Latin America, endowed her with a sense of resilience, community, and faith. Family and God are central to Laura's life, guiding her in both personal and professional realms. Drawing from the foundation her parents laid, Laura applied a similar naming technique to her company, blending elements of her first and last names to form Laso. This symbolizes not merely a business venture but a legacy of hard work and familial love.

Throughout her journey, Laura has been bolstered by the unwavering support of her close-knit community, including friends, extended family, and her now-husband. However, it is her parents' unconditional encouragement that stands out the most, shaping her into the person she is today. Laso Design is not just a business; it is a manifestation of thoughtfully crafted design solutions rooted in the principles her parents taught her. The firm's philosophy revolves around meticulous attention to detail, creativity, and a commitment to excellence—values that testify to Laura's Hispanic heritage and the familial bonds that inspire her every day.
