The fortunata lIVInG brand espouses
the virtues to create a beautiful, blessed
life. It expresses the passion and spirit of
the designer and CEo. Inspired by Bren’s
appreciation of beauty and excellence, she
strives to bring these experiences to others
and in her community. From creating
beautiful designs to managing projects
down to the last detail, the designer’s
hands-on approach and high standards
are in play from a project’s start to finish.
Bren believes that while renovations can
be challenging, the end experience needs
to be a beautiful celebration. It is about
the finishing details, the interior design of
the space, adding flowers and candles and
turning down a client’s sheets.
Full service and personal touches
include stocking the fridge with a client’s
favorite beverages and foods. And finally,
hosting private soirees to celebrate a
client’s new home, including event and
menu planning. This full service, personal
hospitality has become a stamp of the
