MY JOURNEY

Learn more about my story
Throughout my career, I have had a passion for creating beautiful spaces. I have a natural ability to identify how a space can be improved to elevate its flow and functionality. In 2008, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming an interior designer & proceeded to study, graduating the same year from the Interior Design Institute.
I have worked in various roles in the fashion industry, including visual merchandising and marketing for large international retail companies. These roles allowed me to be involved in designing store layouts, as well as designing specialty installations and creating in-store experiences, giving me the chance to work closely with architects and tradespeople. As a project manager, I learned valuable skills in time and budget management and effective communication.
I then had an opportunity which focuses on influencing and enhancing the style and layout of homes, which led me to home staging and styling, where I love helping people see the potential in a property and making it feel like a home. Styling is what gives the overall design a sophisticated yet warm and cozy feel, which makes all the difference.
Over the years, my experiences have allowed me to develop my craft and further my love for design,
I understand that starting a design project can be overwhelming, that's why I love what I do capturing a client's vision and bringing it to fruition. By listening and understanding your needs and wants, I can take away all the stress and help with the process, making sure you feel confident in your design decisions.
I enjoy creating memorable experiences and building relationships with clients. For me, doing what I love and am passionate about means helping people to be inspired and to love the home they live in.
​
I look forward to working together.​

Client Testimonial
"Racheal from Design by Dwyer was incredible to work with. She helped me style our home using pieces we already had, and I was so proud of how it looked when we put it on the market. Her thoughtful suggestions gave me a real confidence, and I still use the styling tips I learned from her today!"
