IT ALL BEGAN WHEN THEY TOLD ME no.
THE ORIGIN
STORY
People have told me I make too much noise since the moment I came into this world, but I wasn't born to blend in. Neither were you.
I didn’t always have this business—the partnerships, the clients, the 100's of installs across the state of Indiana. It all started with a love of color from the moment I opened my first box of Crayola crayons. I had originally planned to study journalism at Indiana University, until one design class changed everything. I knew I’d found my path.
I’ve always believed floors mattered. They shape how a space feels and how people move through it. In hospitals, gyms, or school hallways—the right flooring makes a difference.
I wasn’t here to push products—I wanted to be the expert people could turn to when they needed honest design solutions.
And then I got laid off. It was the push I needed to start something of my own. That’s how Modern Surfaces began—built on experience, grit, and a mission to make flooring easier for the people who specify, sell, install, and use it.
Now I spend my days helping designers, architects, and installers find the right flooring to fit their project, their vision, and end-users—without overcomplicating it.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me taking Pilates, hanging with my two college-aged children Fiona and Seamus, snuggling with my dog Fergus, or planning my next trip abroad. I love fun earrings, backyard hangs with friends, and laughing 'til I cry.
If you need commercial flooring, reach out and let’s grab a coffee.
I'm Laura, the FOUNDER.
