leatrice eiseman: eiseman + associates | Executive director, pantone color institute

Lauren Battistini attended an intensive program in color and design for professionals that I taught in the summer of 2015. I found her to be a woman of exceptional talent and ability. It was obvious from the first day of class that she is a born leader as she is engaging, creative, resourceful, and willing to work hard and share her ideas with others. I would happily endorse her for a variety of color-related endeavors.

Consult 1: We hired Lauren to select interior colors for my duplex in the Montrose area. She spent at least 2 hours doing “her things,” and I received a comprehensive proposal. Put this project into motion last week, and the first room turned out great! Elegant, welcoming, I’m reminded of car designer Chip Foose saying something to the effect of, “It takes just as much time to build an ugly car as a beautiful car.” It takes so much time to paint, and money if you are not doing it yourself, so you might as well do it right. Thank you, Lauren!

Consult 2: Worked with Lauren before for the interior colors on a nice rental property. This time, our own house. Goal was to tone down all the many colors into a seamless neutral very light gray (and minor variants) to make the space feel bigger and establish a neutral tone for possible future sale of our home. Following an in-home visit, she provided a detailed color palette/report, recommendations for replacing fixtures, and directions for accents colors (pillows, etc). Most of our living areas are complete right now, and we are loving it! Even our tiny laundry room has been transformed and is not a space to avoid any more. Hire her!

thad cardine: executive director, Shield bearer counseling centers

It is important to us to provide a warm, comfortable, and inviting place for our clients who visit Shield-Bearer for services. Lauren was able to make recommendations based upon our needs and parameters. As a charitable organization, we receive donated items and are on a tight budget, we were amazed at how Lauren was able to perform magic and give us the environment that will compliment the restorative work we do with individuals. We were initially overwhelmed by the paint, carpet, tile, and flooring choices. Lauren was able to cut through the noise, understand what we were looking for, and make selections that turned out perfectly. She made the process fun and she stayed with us all the way through continually making suggestions, recommendations, and providing counsel. I am impressed by her efficiency, results, and professionalism.

roxanna armendariz-torres: retail industry

It's rare that you come across a multi-talented individual like Lauren F Battistini. I had the pleasure of working with Lauren while I was the VP General Manager at Macy's Galleria in Houston Texas. She partnered with my team and was able to help countless ladies with color and wardrobe selections; through one on one appointments and by creating workshops for business women in our community. Lauren also participated in many of our color and makeup events in conjunction with cosmetic lines; Chanel and Estee Lauder. Lauren was certainly a trendsetter in the stylist field - she did several TV segments for ABCs Mirror/Mirror on color analysis and wardrobing at Macy's.

This partnership was advantageous for both Macy's and Lauren's company as we were both benefitting from her personality status. I was particularly impressed by Lauren's ability to command a room and/or setting and get people at ease with an idea or situation. This skill is necessary in customer service and it seems to come perfectly natural to her. I have known Lauren personally and professionally for over 10 years and she is the hardest working woman I know. She is innovative, organized and not afraid to take risks. She continues to grow and reinvent herself, which is necessary in an ever changing social media world. I am proud to know Lauren and can't wait to see what new ventures Lauren takes on in 2020.

rebecca spera: tv host | reporter | producer

For more than a decade, Lauren Battistini has worked with me as an on-air expert in color consulting. She’s one of the best in her trade and continuously provides viewers with takeaway information that empowers them to shop and wear the colors that are not only in-style but will work for their complexion. I still receive comments about her “Color of the Season” stories, as well as one of our most popular stories from 2009: “The Right White for You”. Women, especially brides, loved learning about their most flattering shade of white! In addition, because she is such an organized professional, she’s always made my job as a TV Host, Reporter, and Producer easier and more enjoyable.

Prepared, knowledgeable, well-spoken, creative, engaging and bold (and the list goes on)……These all speak to what you will get while working with Lauren Battistini!  I’ve worked with Lauren on live television for over a decade. She always brings the life and energy that our segments need, she is quick on her feet and is a well-rounded professional in every situation!  Lauren knows her stuff when it comes to the world of color and design. She knows her stuff when it comes to just about anything! I mean it when I say, “she is the best of the best.” 

jj zavalla: khou channel 11 great day houston tv producer | editor | photographer

As a producer/editor for “Great Day Houston”, I have used Lauren of LFB Color for many segments on our show. While she is extremely knowledgeable in her products, she takes it even further by strategically placing her products/props in a manner that is visually appealing to our audience. Lauren does it all! I know when she is on our show, I have nothing to worry about because she is able to produce her segments thoroughly. Many people can talk about what they do, but the small details Lauren adds make her stand out. Her passion for her work shines when she is on-camera. I love working with Lauren when we have the opportunity and would highly recommend her for any opportunity where she can truly shine as a Color Strategist!
