“Will use anything as an excuse to chop fresh fruit and bring us a homemade quiche.”

“Guru of ribbons and cellophane.”

“It makes her day to make her clients happy and will do anything to make it happen.”

As an interior designer and owner with Built for Dreams, Rita brings 30 years of interior design experience in commercial project design and project management, space planning and commercial furniture sales. She partnered with Built for Dreams in 2010 bringing 18 years of commercial furniture sales experience and a wealth of personal and professional relationships which allowed Built for Dreams to secure a HAWORTH® furniture dealership. HAWORTH®is one of the top world industry leaders in higher end commercial furniture, moveable walls and systems furniture. This dealership allows Built for Dreams to be positioned to deliver a premier furniture solution to businesses and agencies in this marketplace.

“Having spent so many years in commercial furniture, I knew I could bring my experience to Built for Dreams and get to accomplish something really great. I get to do something different every day at Built for Dreams and have resources that I haven’t had in the past. Our company sells a product, but it also has the capacity to design and build giving our clients a whole perspective to the process. I have the resources of design creativity and talent backing me, and am able to offer so much more to my clients through Built for Dreams. Aligning with these ladies has given me an amazing opportunity to personally and professionally grow. It is such an honor knowing that this company was able to secure a top competing dealership its first year in business. That is an unbelievable accomplishment.

The fundamental commitment to superb client service is key to our business. We always accomplish our client’s goals, and hard work is our standard. My biggest sense of accomplishment is leaving a project knowing our client is fully satisfied. I know that our success is directly attributed to the experience our clients have as a Built for Dreams customer, and my goal is to have lifetime customers.”

Office fun facts:

“The office social butterfly.”

“Takin’ care of business is her office hum.”

“Likes to feel the beat to any good song, is a dancing queen that will show you up on the dance floor.”

What I love about interior design, and what kept me in the field, is the notion that every person is different and every project is different. There is nothing monotonous about what we do. Interior design can carry you into so many different areas of focus, and there are so many aspects to interior design, you are not limited to one field of concentration. It stays fresh.

With Built for Dreams, I get exposed to different types of projects and clients with our focus in commercial interiors, the Haworth dealership, and design/build division for commercial. It is exciting to be involved in a whole project and watch a project evolve from an idea, a thought, and a drawing to a finished space. The process always feels like a great surprise at the end, and it is fun to be able to deliver a whole project to our clients

“Process Strategy Specialist aka Wizard of Chaos Management in high heels.”

“Trying to convince the world that Oreos and O.J. are a match in heaven.”

“Always in her zone, the quietest little box of delight.”

“I enjoy interior design because it is an ever-changing art that is distinctive, purposeful, and full of rhythm. As designer, I have an opportunity to transform the everyday mundane into a space of distinction. To see an idea start from a sketch and then become a physical reality is truly an incredible process to be a part of.

Built for Dreams is an amazing design firm where we are given opportunities to work on a wide range of projects. We design through collaboration; so our clients have the benefit of a team with diverse backgrounds and knowledge. Our goal is to understand the needs of an individual while creating a space that is purposeful and artistically pleasing. I am honored to work with a team that is passionate about design and improving the wellbeing of others.”

Office fun facts:

I have always loved learning new things, even as a kid. During college, I couldn’t find anything that kept my interest or allowed me the exploration and discovery I wanted until I found design. After twenty-eight years, I find as much excitement and fulfillment as I did in college. I focus on the fluidity of built environments so functional spaces can also be comfortable, and familiar places become unique.

Office fun facts:

My family moved around a lot when I was a kid. In each room, I would hang the same kitten poster which always made the new place feel like home. My goal is to build relaxing environments that allows people to be at peace even in the busiest workspaces. While I don’t recommend that my clients hang the same kitten poster I had as a kid, I do hope they find the same peace in their workspace through strong design.
