  • Caitlin Sargent

Lydia White is a passionate advocate for the transformative power of design. She believes that design should be a priority and champions the idea that décor is the very art we live in.

Lydia's career began in 2014 with a kitchen and bath remodeler in the Triangle area of North Carolina, and after working for design firms in both North Carolina and Colorado, Lydia co-founded The Ashby White Co., realizing a tangible commitment to excellence in design.

Lydia's educational background in Fashion Design serves as the cornerstone of attention to detail and creativity. Continuously inspired by her roots in High Point, North Carolina – a city renowned for its influence on the furniture and design industry – Lydia's design sensibilities seamlessly blend style with innovation.

Through Ashby White, Lydia continues to redefine the boundaries of what’s possible in design by crafting spaces that tell stories of each unique individual, asking clients to connect and trust her in this artistic experience, where every space becomes a canvas for possibility.

Lydia would describe her own style as dynamic and elegant, with a touch of playfulness

Caitlin Sargent, an esteemed and award-winning Interior Designer, brings a wealth of experience and creativity to her role The Ashby White Co. With a career spanning 22 years and a portfolio that spans diverse locations, including Montana, Florida, Maine, Kansas, and Massachusetts.
