About

Rebecca is a detail-oriented, hard-working young woman with a passion for Interior Design. From a young age, she knew she wanted to be in the design industry in some way. Whether it was making vignettes out of cardboard for her Polly Pockets or rearranging her furniture at 3am (sorry, Mom!), design was always a staple in her life. 

​

Rebecca describes her personality as "sunny with a (high) chance of sarcasm".

She loves to make people laugh & she'll usually have anything you might need (Anyone need a Tide-To-Go stick? A snack? A nail file? Bandaid?).

​

When she's not in the studio, Rebecca enjoys reading, baking, spending time with her cat & being creative through crafting or design. She knows there is a Taylor Swift song for every occasion & loves going to concerts when her favorite artists are in town. She loves sunsets & taking pictures of the sky.

​

Rebecca’s preferred design mindset brings together functionality & aesthetics, ensuring the client not only has a space that makes them feel comfortable & happy, but also alleviates any problems they might have in their existing space. Her personal design style is a mix between "Earthy, Eclectic Maximalism" & "Moody, Geometric Retro". She is inspired by Bauhaus, Memphis, Art Deco, Mid Century, Craftsman, Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau & Gothic design elements. Her favorite artists include Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, William Morris, Frank Lloyd Wright & Piet Mondrian.
