(A.k.a., Rachael Bauer)

My interest in interior design began with family trips to the San Juan Islands, where I was fascinated viewing homes from a different perspective – from a boat. That spurred my imagination to wonder about the interiors of each home. I knew in high school that I wanted to be an interior designer, so I entered the bachelor's program in interior design at Washington State University. After college, I worked at a variety of design environments, from interdisciplinary architecture firms to working alongside other interior designer business owners. After nearly 14 years, I felt the urge to take my passion further and form my own company, which represents all the lessons and success I’ve carried from each prior work experience.
