Courtney Stevens, the creative force behind Aura De Vie, is a Lafayette native with a passion for crafting spaces that tell unique stories. Graduating from ULL, she is proudly WWYW certified, reflecting her dedication to excellence in the industry. With a decade of expertise, her journey began alongside a custom homebuilder throughout her college years, gaining valuable insights into project management, budgeting, and sales. 

​

Always seeking to refine her craft, Courtney ventured East, to North Carolina, fully immersing herself in a luxury build firm. There, she acquired knowledge of producing technical field drawings, procuring furniture, and building on a larger, more complicated scale, all while learning leadership qualities and implementing design standards within the firm.

​

After several years in the mountains, she decided to return to Lafayette, reuniting with her family and the beauty that is uniquely Louisiana, bringing a full circle to her design journey by opening her own firm, where it all began.

​

With an extensive knowledge of construction, design standards and an unwavering attention to detail and craftmanship, Courtney's designs come to life with purpose and precision. As the heart of Aura De Vie, she finds joy in building connections with clients, understanding their aspirations for building or renovating and how they envision their homes functioning. For Courtney, design isn't just a profession; it's a lifelong love story with spaces and the people that inhabit them. 

 

When she's not immersed in design, you'll find her indulging in gardening, baking, and reading--hobbies that reflect her love for cultivating beauty and relaxation in all aspects of life.
