Design for a Difference
Lucy is honored to be a national ambassador for Design for a Difference. Founded by The International Design Guild, this community-driven designer movement brings interior designers together with socially conscious showrooms and other businesses to makeover needed spaces at local charities.
Bridging
Design. Dish. Donate.
As an Ambassador for Design for a Difference, Lucy completed a full makeover of the FOUND IT! Estate Store for Bridging, a local non-profit that provides furniture and household goods to families and individuals transitioning out of homelessness and poverty. She invited a team of local interior designers to participate in the makeover by creating room vignettes and re-merchandising the entire store. A makeover reveal party and celebration further benefitted Bridging through additional fundraising.

Inspired by art, Lucy and her team created a vibrant, fun and energizing space for the staff, mentors and families. Free Arts Minnesota inspires hope and builds self-esteem for youth who have experienced poverty, homelessness, abuse and mental illness, using the healing powers of artistic expression and caring adult mentors.
