Laura Williams is the Founder and Principal Designer of Living Oak Interior Design, a luxury design + build studio based in Austin, Texas. What began as a creative pivot during the pandemic, remodeling her own homes and investment properties, has grown into one of Austin's most recognized interior design firms, completing 25+ projects annually and serving clients nationwide. Before launching her design career, Laura built a decade-long track record in corporate marketing, holding leadership roles at Estée Lauder in New York and directing marketing for a beauty brand in Miami. Her background also includes positions at Disney Music Group and Clear Channel Communications. This foundation in brand strategy, project management, and client experience now shapes how she runs her design firm with the same rigor and polish she brought to global brands. Laura's design philosophy centers on homes that work as beautifully as they look. Her signature style, refined, functional, and cozy, prioritizes timeless choices over trends, with a focus on natural materials, architectural detail, and spaces that feel layered and lived-in rather than staged. Every project is tailored to how clients actually live, never a copy-paste of someone else's aesthetic. Her work has earned national recognition, including a 2025 HGTV Designer of the Year nomination and inclusion in Architectural Digest's prestigious AD PRO Directory in January 2026.

I’m Brandi Oldham, the founder of Talent Career Coaching and Brandiwine Interior Design, two businesses built around one idea: you deserve to have a life that brings out the very best in you. Before I was a coach and designer, I was a rule follower. I climbed the corporate ladder, led teams in financial services and sports, and checked every box that was supposed to equal success. But somewhere between back-to-back meetings and “living the dream,” I realized I was living someone else’s. So I burned the rulebook and built a life that actually fits, and now, I help others do the same. Through Talent Career Coaching, I work with high-achieving professionals and barrier breakers who look successful on paper but feel stuck in practice. My clients are women, first-gen professionals, and leaders navigating imposter syndrome, burnout, and growth that feels heavier than it should. Together, we rebuild confidence, reconnect to purpose, and design careers that feel human again. My approach? Equal parts strategy, self-awareness, and straight talk, or, as my clients call it, “therapy for your career.” And because alignment shouldn’t stop at work, I also run Brandiwine Interior Design, where I help homeowners design spaces that reflect who they are, not just what’s trending. From remodel roadmaps to new builds, my goal is to take the overwhelm out of the process and replace it with clarity and calm. I’m the daughter of a truck driver and a grocery store worker, a first-gen professional who built two businesses from scratch, and a mom learning to juggle big dreams with nap schedules. I’m not interested in picture-perfect, I’m interested in real alignment: careers that matter, homes that feel good, and lives that make sense. When I’m not coaching or designing, you’ll find me volunteering with my therapy dog, chasing my toddler, or testing yet another Portland-area coffee shop. (Iced vanilla latte, always.) If you’re writing about modern career growth, burnout recovery, work-life alignment, or the intersection of design and intentionality - I’m your girl with the insights, the energy, and the story to tell!
