At the heart of The Art Deco Freak is Lauren Papa, a creative force whose life journey blends artistry, compassion, and entrepreneurial spirit. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, and influenced by the vibrant energy of Southern California, Lauren Papa brings a unique cross-country perspective to every property she reimagines.

From distressed properties to design-forward residences, Lauren Papa ensures that every renovation is more than cosmetic-it is intentional, personal, and community-minded. Her work revitalizes neighborhoods while creating meaningful value for homeowners and investors alike.

"My designs stand out because they're personal," says Lauren Papa. "Every project marries function with flair, breathing new life into spaces while preserving their soul. It's not just renovation-it's a reimagining of what home means."

As a solo renovator, Lauren Papa is deeply involved in every phase of the process-from conceptualization to completion. This hands-on approach ensures that each detail reflects a seamless blend of history and modernity. The Art Deco Freak's signature style captures architectural character while incorporating contemporary design elements that meet the needs of today's homeowners.

Every project tells a story. What begins as a forgotten structure evolves into a vibrant living space that feels both timeless and fresh. Through smart design, craftsmanship, and an intuitive eye for potential, Lauren Papa reveals hidden beauty in places others may overlook. The company's growing portfolio and striking before-and-after transformations highlight this commitment to excellence and reinvention.

Beyond renovation, Lauren Papa's life reflects the same spirit of transformation and purpose that defines The Art Deco Freak. A mother of five, including a child with special needs, her devotion to family anchors her work. Her creative journey extends beyond design into music and philanthropy. Through her "Who's Your Papa" concert series-where Grammy-winning songs are reimagined with her artistic touch-Lauren Papa has supported the life-saving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, channeling her talents into meaningful impact.

This same heart-centered philosophy informs her approach to homes. Each property is treated not merely as a structure, but as a future backdrop for family memories, resilience, and joy. Whether working in Pittsburgh's character-rich neighborhoods or the eclectic communities of Los Angeles, Lauren Papa approaches every renovation with compassion, creativity, and respect for the space's inherent story.

The Art Deco Freak stands as more than a renovation company-it is a creative movement grounded in authenticity and vision. By transforming distressed properties into distinctive homes, Lauren Papa is helping redefine what revitalization looks like in today's real estate landscape.
