NCIDQ, Associate IIDA, LEED AP
Associate Principal, Senior Interior Designer
Riley enjoys jigsaw puzzles almost as much as interior design. It’s not surprising – both take individual pieces and fit them together to create something beautiful. At an early age she knew she wanted to pursue a career in design, but it wasn’t until a college internship that she was first exposed to the power and complexity of interior design. That experience informed the collaborative, client-focused design philosophy she holds today.
Riley fosters the same kind of collaboration with her team that she experienced during her first internship. People are the focus of her work, and she loves projects that exceed expectations and create long-term success beyond what the client thought to be possible.
Riley credits her success to the many people who have mentored her throughout her career. Her coworkers and teammates continue to inspire her every day, contributing their expertise and advice at every turn. "We all have our strengths and areas of focus," Riley says of her teammates. "When we come together it makes for an unstoppable team."
Outside the office, Riley spends most of her free time at soccer fields, cheering on her kids from the sidelines. She also loves exploring local restaurants for great food — and design inspiration.
