FOUNDER &

Principal Designer

ARIANA AFSHAR LOVATO

Ariana founded Honeycomb Home Design in 2016 with the mission to create spaces that are both functional and beautiful–to support the very full lives of her clients.


As an Iranian-American woman in a male-dominated industry, Ariana overcame numerous challenges to build her successful studio. Now, as a wife and mother of two boys under four (!!), she continues to balance her passion for design with the wild ride of being a mom–making her even more creative at turning clients' visions into reality.

After earning an Associate’s Degree in Interior Design at FIDM in Los Angeles, Ariana continued her education with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration at the University of LaVerne. Continuing education with a Certified Living in Place credential, Associate Kitchen and Bath credential, as well as earning her real estate license, Ariana continues to learn whatever she can to help her clients and her team.
