Lori Bell is a Senior Interior Designer at EOA Architects PLLC. She joined EOA Architects in 2006 and
has vast experience in a variety of project types (Corporate, Educational, Hospitality, Healthcare, Multi-
Family, Religious and Residential) and design styles.  She enjoys every aspect of the design, but thrives
in the project programming phase, interior finish selection, custom millwork design, project & product research and sustainable design.  Lori enjoys helping the client determine how to bring their functional needs to life, and giving insight to design that could help the client function more efficiently in their everyday work life.

By listening carefully to the branding image of the client, she is able to design the interiors of the space to reflect the personal style of her client.  Through the understanding of color theory, she is able to evoke emotion thru the built environment that allows physical, emotional and spiritual healing.
