“Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will take you everywhere”
– Albert Einstein
Born and raised in Rhode Island, Stephanie is a graduate of New England Institute of Technology, earning her Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design in just three years. Growing up, she gained an interest in construction from her father, who owned his own construction company. Watching him build many homes for clients, as well as two homes for his family, she fell in love with the building process. After moving to Florida after high school to study fashion design, she moved back and began working alongside her father where she further realized her passion for interior design.
Stephanie started at RIKB as a Design Assistant where she absorbed as much knowledge as possible before being promoted to Design Consultant. Her specialties range from kitchen and bath remodels, to material selections as well as drafting highly detailed plans and photo-realistic 3D renderings. She advises clients on all aspects of design, including space planning, functionality, lighting, color coordination, and finishes. Stephanie knows designing spaces for her clients is a very personal process and realizes the immense impact the right design can have on her client’s daily lives. Her love for residential design focuses not only on the aesthetics of the space, but also functionality and safety. Stephanie was awarded the People’s Choice Award (by all those in the industry at the show!) for her involvement in the live, onsite IIDA Student Design Charette competition during NeoCon. Members from around the country were given less than six hours to determine a design solution, develop a presentation, and pitch their concept to a panel of esteemed judges.
Stephanie has achieved her Certification in Aging in Place (CAPS) as well as an Associate Kitchen & Bath Designer® (AKBD) from NKBA which shows her commitment to building her expertise in product selection, space planning, materials and finishes, but also to the kitchen and bath industry as a whole.
