Laura Sullivan, Founder & Principal Designer of ID.ology Interiors & Design and Co-Owner of Atelier Maison & Co., is a respected leader in the interior design, building, and wellness-focused design industries. Raised in the mountains of Western North Carolina, Laura’s formative years were shaped by her father’s entrepreneurial real estate ventures and her mother’s career in the medical field—instilling in her a rare balance of business acumen, compassion, and service to others. This foundation continues to inform her values-driven approach to leadership, creativity, and client care.
From an early age, Laura demonstrated a strong artistic inclination, dedicating countless hours to developing her creative abilities. She pursued a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design with a minor in Art from Appalachian State University, where she deepened her understanding of how thoughtful design can meaningfully enhance lives. Committed to comprehensive expertise, Laura went on to obtain licensures in General Contracting and Real Estate Brokerage, as well as certifications as a Certified Green Professional, Certified Aging In Place Specialist, and Wellness Within Your Walls professional. Most recently, she earned her Accredited Builder designation through the North Carolina Building Institute (NCBI), further strengthening her ability to bridge design excellence with constructability, wellness, and long-term performance.
With more than two decades of experience, Laura is an accomplished entrepreneur and business consultant who has founded, led, and grown multiple successful ventures across Interior Design, Retail Furnishings, Cabinetry, General Contracting, and Real Estate. Her background includes luxury custom homes, large-scale renovations, boutique commercial projects, property investment ventures, and real estate agency experience. She brings this well-rounded perspective to her leadership of ID.ology Interiors & Design, where she mentors a multidisciplinary team and delivers high-end architectural and interior design services with comprehensive project management.
Laura is also the co-founder of Atelier Maison & Co., a design-forward retail furnishings studio offering heirloom-quality, health-conscious products that support Whole Living—designing green, building green, and living green. Together with her husband, Sean Sullivan, owner of Living Stone Design + Build, Laura champions collaborative synergy, shared vision, and servant leadership. Their global travels throughout the U.S., Central America, Europe, and Africa continue to influence their appreciation for timeless architecture, craftsmanship, and cultural design expression.
Beyond her design ventures, Laura has overseen speculative and rental home construction, serves as a minority owner and board member of Asheville Real Estate Company, co-founded a community non-profit, helped launch the Asheville Design District, and co-produces Collaborative Living Magazine—initiatives that strengthen the regional design and building community.
Laura’s work has earned extensive national, state, and local recognition, including multiple Best in American Living Awards, Parade of Homes Best in Show honors, and features in publications such as House Beautiful’s 7th Annual Whole Home. Passionate about education, she teaches and speaks through ASID, NCBI, and the NAHB’s International Builders Show, sharing her expertise in design, indoor air quality, and healthy building practices.
Grounded in her faith and a commitment to servant leadership, Laura continues to pursue purposeful, elevated design that uplifts individuals, businesses, and communities. Outside of work, she enjoys life with her husband, their family, and their 100-year-old homestead, where she tends to the farm, remains active in their church, and expresses her creativity on canvas.
