Meet Lawrence Fortwell
Founder. Designer. Visual Storyteller.
Forloky Design was born from Lawrence Fortwell’s passion for creating environments that feel as good as they look. With a background in architecture and over 10 years in interior design, Lawrence spent years designing for high-end firms before launching his own studio in Riverside, California.
Driven by a desire to create more personal, client-centered spaces, he founded Forloky to offer a different kind of design service — one rooted in collaboration, intuition, and human-centered aesthetics. Today, Lawrence leads each project with heart, precision, and an eye for timeless beauty.
Design with soul. Live with intention.
At Forloky, we believe interiors should reflect the spirit of those who live and work in them. Our guiding principles are:
- Balance: A harmony of form, light, texture, and function.
- Functionality: A beautiful space must also be livable and efficient.
- Aesthetics with Depth: We aim for emotion, not just style. Every color, material, and layout choice has purpose.
- Timelessness: We avoid trends in favor of design that endures.
Design isn’t just a look — it’s a process.
Every project at Forloky Design follows a flexible, yet focused framework:
- Discovery: We begin by deeply understanding your lifestyle, needs, and aspirations.
- Concept Development: Moodboards, layouts, and color palettes bring your vision to life.
- Design Detailing: Material selection, 3D renderings, and sourcing ensure clarity and alignment.
- Execution & Styling: We work with trusted contractors and artisans to bring every detail to life.
- Final Touches: Our team styles and refines the space for a complete, polished result.
Throughout, we stay communicative, transparent, and committed to your satisfaction.
