Laurence Robert
Interior designer, project manager
A 2014 graduate of Cégep de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu with a technique in interior design, Laurence began her professional career at Entre Quatre Murs, a young firm then in full expansion. As a junior designer on a small team, she quickly developed autonomy, versatility and a keen sense of initiative as she contributed to a variety of residential projects.
After several years of professional exploration in larger firms, Laurence enriched her expertise by working on complex commercial and institutional projects, integrating structured methodologies and collaborating within multidisciplinary teams. Drawing on these experiences, her return to Entre Quatre Murs marks a new stage in her career, in which she puts her know-how and sharpened eye for design to good use.
Gifted with a collaborative spirit and great human sensitivity, Laurence excels in environments where listening, mutual support and creativity are paramount. For her, design is much more than mere aesthetics: it's a balance between utility, innovation and meaning. She is particularly fond of brainstorming sessions, where ideas come to life through team synergy.
Highly social and curious by nature, Laurence draws part of her inspiration from her interactions with those around her and the new people who cross her path. She is also fascinated by discovering the world, music and travel, finding personal balance through her passions and the simple pleasures of everyday life.
7 questions to get to know me...
What inspires you in general?
What inspires me most is discovering the world and the diversity of ideas and cultures. It may sound like a cliché, but exploring what's being done elsewhere, observing other ways of thinking, creating or living, nourishes me enormously, both personally and creatively.
Your favorite quote?
In life, nothing happens for nothing.
Why did you choose to become a designer?
For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to everything to do with visual creation and the way in which an idea can take shape through images, objects or spaces. Design naturally appealed to me because it represents the perfect balance between creativity, utility and innovation.
I chose this profession because it allows me not only to express my artistic sensibility, but also to respond to concrete problems by proposing effective visual solutions. What I like about design is that it's not just about "looking good", but above all about "making sense" - taking into account the needs of users, the context, and the objectives to be achieved.
What particularly motivates me is the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, to learn continuously, and to contribute to improving people's daily lives, even on a small scale. For me, being a designer is a way of combining passion and usefulness, putting my creativity at the service of a more functional and human vision of the world.
What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of my job is brainstorming sessions with my colleagues. I love this moment of collaboration where everyone contributes their ideas and points of view, and where we build strong concepts together. It's often at this moment that creativity is most unleashed and the best ideas are born.
What's the best way to charm you?
A bouquet of flowers!
An obsession?
Finding renovation projects for the house, much to my boyfriend's dismay!
