Arianne Bellizaire, CEO, Arianne Bellizaire Interiors

Arianne Bellizaire is a sought-after media personality and the CEO behind her full-service design firm, Arianne Bellizaire Interiors. Recognized as a leader for the next generation of design, her integrated tech, ROI-focused strategy, and trend-forward work has graced the pages of Architectural Digest, Forbes, and House Beautiful. Based out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, hospitality is embedded in her firm’s DNA and can be felt from the way she designs to how she partners with her clients.

Celebrated as one of the nation’s top interior design taste-makers, Arianne has earned a name for herself as a relatable yet aspirational designer, taking the design industry by storm. Marketing teams from Pottery Barn to Wayfair have developed extensive partnerships with her personal brand, and former producers of the Oprah Winfrey Show tapped her to create content for a new women-focused community resource. Additionally, she is sought after on the speaker’s circuit, educating at The Kitchen Bath Industry Show and High Point International Design Market.

She also sits on the editorial advisory board of Kitchen and Bath Business Magazine and the Design Influencer’s Conference advisory board.

For over a decade, clients ranging from real estate developers to attorneys, doctors, and entrepreneurial families have turned to Arianne for her cutting-edge approach to design and nod to Southern hospitality. She uses her keen understanding of project management and VIP client service to design properties that are effortlessly sophisticated. Today, her savvy team is the “go-to” call when a project needs a strategic, tech-forward, and ROI-focused approach to design. Frequent projects include custom builds, luxury kitchen renovations, and multi-family developments.

When not designing, you can find Arianne drinking coffee and reading a good book or brainstorming business ideas with her husband, Reggie (also her COO). She loves to explore different parts of the country with her two kids, contributing to professional organizations like The Black Interior Design Network and the National Kitchen and Bath Association. When frequenting Southern restaurants she’s most prone to try the Shrimp & Grits.
