Interior Design
Design that helps you see yourself in the home.
A practicing interior designer since 2021 — and on the Crate & Barrel corporate design team since 2022 — Rachel pairs real-estate intuition with a designer's eye.
A different kind of agent
Home renovation, guided by good design.
Whether you're getting a home market-ready, settling into a new closing, or renovating the one you love — design decisions made early save money, time, and second-guessing later. We work from a shared plan, with trusted trades, so the result feels considered and the process stays calm.

The Design Process
Let's create the home you want to live in.
Discovery
We walk the space together, talk through how you live in it, and align on goals, timeline, and budget.
Project Planning
Clear scope, a detailed budget estimate, and an actionable plan so the work stays on time and on budget.
Design & Selections
Finishes, paint, fixtures, furniture, and layout — curated to your home, not pulled from a catalogue.
Trusted Trades
Coordination with vetted painters, contractors, and architects when permits or larger plans are involved.
Pre-Sale Styling
Staging and refresh recommendations that help your home photograph beautifully and sell faster.
Post-Close Design
Move in and live well. Full interior design after closing — from one room to the whole house.

Vendors
A curated bench of trusted brands.
From everyday classics to trade-only warehouses, we source from vendors we know, trust, and have ordered from many times over.
Virtual Staging
3D Rendering Guide
See your space before you commit. We produce photoreal 3D renderings for virtual staging and pre-purchase visualization, sourcing from a deep catalog of furniture brands so the renderings reflect pieces you can actually buy.
