Through the years, my love of bringing people together has grown into a passion for hosting unforgettable experiences. I’m always seeking thoughtful ways to make my guests feel special, whether through a unique personal touch or an exquisitely wrapped gift.
If I had to describe why I do what I do, it’s all in the name: A Curated Host. I love creating those extra details that make each moment unique and meaningful.
After years in the corporate world, I’m now pursuing my true passion: designing beautiful details that bring joy and connection to others. I knew I’d made the right choice when my closest friend said, “Now people can finally experience what they’ve always wanted—a bit of Lori style.”
I’m honored to collaborate with @BabsBoards to craft unforgettable moments. Together, we’re inspiring hosting with style and ease.
