Who We Are

Meet Haylie Lapinskas, Owner, and Interior Designer of HaylieRead Design

Haylie is a registered Interior Designer and received her bachelor’s degree from Iowa State University in Interior Design. She started HaylieRead Design back in early 2020 and has been studying and practicing Interior Design for over 10 years.

Haylie started HaylieRead Design at a time when the world began to turn upside down. Haylie planted her feet in the ground and decided it was not an option to turn back. In the face of the early Covid 19 pandemic, she created something that not only fosters happiness in the home but also promotes growth and strength.

Haylie lives with her husband and fur babies in Downers Grove, IL. Her favorite part of the process is meeting families and connecting with them through their journey. Creating lasting spaces and relationships.
