Meet the Candelaria Design Principals: Vivian Ayala

We conclude the first season and 50th episode of our podcast Inspiring Living with a person who truly inspires living - my good friend and business partner, Vivian Ayala. This podcast is the third of our three part series featuring my three partners of Candelaria Design. Our first was with architect, Meredith Thomson, then our Candelaria Design CFO, Evelyn Jung, and now my third and final partner, Vivian Ayala who just celebrated her 20th year of employment with Candelaria Design!
Vivian is amazing and is one of the hardest working, most dedicated people I have ever known! We have collaborated on hundreds of projects and looking at what we have on the boards, the best is yet to come. In addition to being an amazing designer, business partner and friend, Vivian is a wonderful mother, sharing her time and love with her beautiful daughter Gabby who is a chip off the block and quite the achiever herself.
Our Candelaria Design family would not be the same without our Vivian. Her energy, passion and trademark laugh is cherished by all of us. Her work is phenomenal, from classic French estates to ultra contemporary homes on the sides of cliffs. The word "no" or "can't" does not exist in her vocabulary - Vivian never gives up and always finds a way.
