Lyndee Cabo McQuarrie is the founder and principal designer of McQ & Co., a full-service interior design studio for people who refuse to live an ordinary life. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of the Arts with a BFA in Interior Design, Lyndee combines formal training with a sharp, intuitive sense for what her clients are truly capable of—and then designs homes to match that version of them.

Based in Richmond and aligned with design-driven markets like Washington, D.C. and New York, Lyndee attracts high-end clients who want more than “pretty” rooms. Her work spans custom residences, major renovations, and select commercial spaces, always with the same throughline: layered, unforgettable interiors for people who are the reference, not the replica. She is known for bold, strategic decisions, sophisticated use of color and texture, and an ability to transform dated or underwhelming properties into assets that feel both elevated and deeply personal.

At McQ & Co., Lyndee’s philosophy is simple: your home should rise to meet the life you’re building. She doesn’t just place furniture and pick finishes—she reshapes how a space feels, functions, and supports the people who live in it. Clients come to her when they’ve outgrown safe, predictable design and are ready for a home that reflects their standards, their story, and their next chapter. They trust her not only for her expertise and execution, but for the way she expands their sense of what’s possible—and then delivers it.
