We believe the most compelling homes are those that feel layered, personal, and deeply connected to the people who live within them. Based in San Diego and San Miguel de Allende, Vivo creates thoughtfully layered homes that balance beauty, function, and craftsmanship.
Lily Argüelles is the founder and principal of Vivo. Growing up in Mexico City and San Miguel de Allende has shaped her design perspective and continuously serves as an inspiration to create artfully layered spaces with a sense of history and soul.
With nearly two decades of experience and a background spanning residential, corporate, and law firm interiors, Lily brings both artistry and rigor to her work. She is NCIDQ and CCIDC certified and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from Texas State University.
“Lily’s full-service approach took a tremendous weight off our shoulders”
This is the second home Lily has helped us design, and once again the experience exceeded our expectations. With a background in commercial design, Lily brings a level of precision and clarity that made a meaningful difference during construction, as she remained closely involved with the trades to ensure every detail was executed as intended. She elevated our vision beyond what we could have imagined, communicated clearly throughout, and delivered a result we truly love.”
