We had the good fortune of connecting with Eric Winnick and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Eric, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
My favorite quote is “Trust the Process.” I say this affirmation to each of my clients at the start of every project, including long-time clients. Clients tend to quickly forget that design is an actual process and it takes a lot of moving parts to bring a vision to reality.

What should our readers know about your business?
When I started my business 13 years ago, I repeated to myself on a daily basis that “failure is not an option.” I continued to knock on doors and hustle until I gained a loyal following of clients who have hired me and my team for multiple projects and have referred my company to their friends and networks. I have formed generational relationships along the way – starting with the parents and now working with their children and grandchildren. I founded E Lawrence Design on the belief that I was unique in my vision, style experience and the end product that I provide to my clients. When clients hire me, they get a residence that is bespoke, unique, stylish, and sophisticated. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the world’s most discerning clients and some of the best artisans who help to make my vision a reality.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would definitely take my best friend to the Design District. Michael’s Genuine is an all-time favorite, and Mandolin is another spot that I love. And how can you not love the world-class shopping there? The spa at the Standard is my favorite place to relax on the weekends, and they have a pool that is hopping with energy. When I’m looking for an arts and culture vibe, I head over to the Pérez Art Museum Miami. The art collection is extraordinary, and the building is incredible!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I wouldn’t be where I am today without my mentor, Kenneth Alpert of KA Design Group. I also want to give a shoutout to my clients, my team, contractors, and wonderful vendors.
