A Passion for Interiors
A significant portion of our daily lives unfolds within residences, workplaces, or even our favorite restaurants or coffee shops. It’s easy to recollect the memorable ambience of a unique home you’ve visited or the striking design of a restaurant space you’ve dined in, but you might not fully grasp the profound influence it plays on you. Interior design extends beyond mere functionality; it holds sway over your emotions, overall well-being, and even your physical health. A well-executed design should ignite curiosity, invite tactile exploration, narrate compelling stories, and inspire people to share their experiences. Hopefully, you are here in search of that fulfillment for your space.

With rb.by.design, you will have a partner that will lead you through each step of the design process, guiding you through an organized timeline and providing timely responses when decisions need to be made.

With a history of working for interdisciplinary architecture firms and for other interior designers, rb.by.design has the breadth of knowledge that you can trust and rely on. Our studio has experience working closely with architects and general contractors, amongst many other consultants.
It’s the details that can make or break a project.

We respect your budget and we won’t push you to exceed it. We coordinate furniture, décor & art purchasing budgets and we work closely with you and the contractor to ensure finishes and manner of installation are reflective of your budget. Should budget challenges come into play, we can assist with value engineering or brainstorm ways to reduce project costs.
It is essential to recognize that, while individuals have their own design preferences, decisions are never forced upon any client. Listening is half the process, and bringing your dreams and visions to life is what rb.by.design does best.
