A Journey Crafted From Passion

Travel Design Co. was born from founder Lauren Cardinale’s lifelong fascination with travel, hospitality, and the belief that everyone deserves to see the beauty of the world. After years on the hotel side, Lauren realized her true calling was connecting people to unforgettable places and experiences—so in 2013, she launched Travel Design Co. with a mission to make every trip personal, seamless, and extraordinary.
What sets us apart? We’re not just travel planners—we’re your travel bestie, personal assistant, and global connector. Our clients trust us because nearly all come from referrals or repeat business. We listen, we care, and we use our insider network to open doors to exclusive experiences, upgrades, and perks you won’t find online.

From private jets and luxury cruises to hidden gems and once-in-a-lifetime adventures, every itinerary is custom-designed with expertise, creativity, and a sense of fun. At Travel Design Co., you never travel alone—our team and our worldwide partners are with you every step of the way.

Let us show you how extraordinary travel can be, and why our clients keep coming back, trip after trip.
