Vivo Design Studios is a women-owned, full-service interior design firm in San Diego's College Area, founded by principal designer Lily Arguelles, who holds both NCIDQ and CCIDC certifications. Arguelles earned her bachelor's degree in Interior Design from Texas State University and brings close to two decades of industry experience to the studio at 4614 47th Street in the 92115 ZIP code. The firm's project scope spans kitchen and bathroom remodeling, new-build interiors, and whole-home renovations, with a published project range of $75,000 to $2,500,000 that places it in the mid-to-high-end residential design market. Remodeling projects that require window and door replacement coordinate with trade partners along the Grantville commercial corridor, including Newman Windows and Doors - San Diego for custom sizing and energy-rated installations. The studio also operates from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, a dual-base model that gives Arguelles access to Mexican artisan workshops for custom tile, hand-forged ironwork, and imported stone finishes not typically sourced through San Diego's standard tile-and-stone distributors. Vivo's portfolio includes work for homeowners, corporate headquarters, and law firms across Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, La Jolla, Encinitas, and Carlsbad, extending its footprint well beyond the College Area base. Architectural and construction knowledge allows the team to work directly with general contractors and trades rather than operating in a decorating-only capacity, a distinction that becomes critical when structural modifications — wall removal, load-path engineering, plumbing relocation — are part of the design scope. Flooring specifications for kitchen, bath, and living spaces tie into the installation side through contractors in the Grantville remodeling cluster, where Star Flooring & Remodeling handles hardwood, tile, and LVP installation. The 47th Street location near the SDSU campus places the studio within the residential grid south of El Cajon Boulevard, where mid-century and post-war homes represent a significant share of the College Area renovation pipeline.
