Lawrence Hubbard (Lorenzo), founded Viggiano Interiors in 1988 while working as a Detroit Police Officer and serves as CEO of this Company.  In a short time Viggiano's became one of Detroit's most recognized full-service interior design firms, securing an impressive number of Domestic and International clients.  Certainly a leader in the industry, and through his innovation and determination, has created a unique market niche for himself where none existed before.  Clients not only receive quality furnishings and service, they are provided in-depth personalized attention with his unparalleled style of design, in large part due to his unique and creative cultural heritage - Latino, African-American and Native-American!  With a Latina mother who was a highly successful model and a father of Native-American as well as African-American decent who performed as a drummer with some of the most well known musicians in the country .. he is the "face of America".

Initially a freelance designer of residential interiors, Mr. Hubbard held the prestigious position of staff and resident designer for several luxury apartment and residential subdivisions.  There are not many upscale apartment complexes or residential communities without his unique signature.  On the commercial front, a myriad of large-scale projects have garnered him praise as he designed commercial splendors from hotels and restaurants, to plush nightclubs.

In 1997 Mr. Hubbard purchased the deteriorated historical Hall-Oldsmobile mansion in the Boston-Arden Park historic district of Detroit.  After undergoing extensive renovations and restructuring, his home serves as a show house with examples of his enticing and well-respected work.  Never satisfied, he welcomed the new millennium by filming and launching the pilot of his own lifestyle television show, "That's Got To Go!", becoming part of Michigan's first prestigious list of registered designers, and expanding his business to Dallas, Texas.

In 2003, after regaining the ability to walk following a tragic accident in the summer of 2000, Mr. Hubbard embraced a new challenges - publishing his first book - Award Nominated "Where I Was, Where I Am, Where I'm Going".  He subsequently left the United States to study in the Dominican Republic.  In Santo Domingo, he attended the Universitario Dominico Americano and Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra studying Latin culture and Spanish.  After graduating in 2005, He traveled to Spain and then Mexico to continue his studies in Spanish and Italian at the Universidad del Valle de Mexico y Universidad Leonardo da Vinci Italia, while also doing missionary work as a professor of English and Spanish to an international student body representing more than 20 countries, including the Mayan and indigenous communities of Mexico.  In February 2009, after completing his studies he returned to the United States settling in Florida. 

In August 2009 Mr. Hubbard became the Executive Producer and Host of the lifestyle television program; "On The Town with Lorenzo" and assumed the role as Entertainment personality on Sarasota radio; WSLR 96.5 FM.    

Each year Mr. Hubbard extends his arms to the community by speaking about his work and mentoring to youth organizations and schools, while training interns to work in the design industry.  This along with countless art shows and lectures helps him to reach new goals and to expose others who would otherwise not be in touch with the arts to explore its colorful and thought- provoking world.  In other community efforts, Mr. Hubbard hosted the launch reception for the Detroit chapter of the National Organization of Black Designers.  Most recently he was named Florida Toastmaster's third place winner in November of 2009.
