Debi Mattingly

As a tribute to her colorful Cajun heritage, Debi has designed a boutique that inspires the “yaya spirit” in everyone.

She has been a professional artist since 1979 and a fashion designer since 1995.  As a professional artist, Debi traveled across the country with fellow artists showcasing their art and teaching of their culture.  It is in 1995 that Debi decided to become a fashion accessory designer and turn her art into a more “functional” creation; in which she received her private trademark label (debi lynn designs®).  Debi has sold her designs across the world to private collectors and boutiques. Her designs can not only be spotted on TV, but she also has a long list of celebrities under her belt.

At the age of 50, instead of thinking of retirement, Debi has decided to open a new boutique in Houston where her customers enter into the mysterious world that can only be found along the beautiful and sensuous bayous of Louisiana.  Debi and her yaya sistas search for that “rustic elegance” to inspire her customer’s own yaya spirit.  After 30 years of being an entrepreneur….she feels that her life, at the age of 50, is now truly beginning!
