Claudia’s long term love of design, and desire to create inspiring interiors that promote comfort put in motion her career change to interior residential design.
After studying interior design at the Art Center Design College, and subsequently becoming certified in Interior Redesign by New York designer Lauri Ward, Claudia started her design business, Anew Interior Redesign in 2008. Ms. Lucas rebranded her business to ‘Claudia Lucas Interiors’ while attending celebrity designer Tobi Fairley’s year long mastermind program in 2013.
Residential Design
Claudia’s approach to design is creating rooms that are as practical and comfortable as they are lovely. She
works in a variety of design styles. Her specialty is helping clients create spaces that are an invitation to relax, recharge and feel inspired.
Office Ergonomics
In 2015, Claudia expanded her services to commercial as well as home office environments. Her focus is
helping clients become more productive and energized by adapting their workstations for better ergonomics and health. She also works with clients to redesign their offices to improve function, and aesthetics.
