About Us

2012 - The Beginning

The first home Rory and Lauren built was in Southern California. As first time homebuilders, they had a lot to learn. They delved into the world of different materials, design styles, light fixtures, landscape materials, wallpaper, HOA approved plant lists - we could go on and on! This is where the spark of love of design began for Lauren and where Rory's expertise of being a civil engineer became extremely useful. Before leaving Southern California in 2015, Lauren completed several interior design projects for private homes as well as various commercial projects.

Since that first home in California, Rory and Lauren have built several homes and designed multiple landscaping projects in various states. The passion for design has only grown deeper and with their increased knowledge gained over the years, they were finally able to realize their dream of launching a multi-faceted design company - Walter Design Co. in 2024.
