LICENSES & CERTIFICATIONS
Rylee, born and raised in New Orleans, LA, studied in Starkville, MS, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design. With eight years of industry experience, she brings a detail-oriented and narrative-driven approach to every project, crafting spaces that not only function beautifully but also tell a cohesive, compelling story.
Her experience spans space planning, concept development, Revit BIM modeling, and material and finish selections. She thrives in the fast-paced world of hospitality design, where each space is an opportunity to create memorable experiences for guests and users alike.
Known for her efficiency and sharp eye for detail, Rylee believes great design is in the subtleties, the way materials meet, how a layout flows, and how a concept is carried through to the last finish selection.
When she’s not designing, Rylee can often be found under the hood of one of her vintage BMWs or spending time with her three dogs. Whether it’s cars or interiors, she loves a good project, especially one with a story behind it.
