Today marks my 44th trip around the sun, and I’m grateful for so many things. I recently read somewhere that 44 is a year for leveraging experience. I’m still processing what that means, but I’ve decided to honor it here by answering a few questions about myself and this company I started 9 years ago.
1. What’s your favorite thing to design? Colorful spaces.
Whether it’s a well-branded cafe or a home with plenty of character, collections, and quirks; I love to create spaces with unexected color combinations that keep your eyes traveling about for the next interesting element.
2. Why design and not decor? I’m following my passion.
I used to be a decorator. I furnished homes, selected art, and worked to make homes felt likethey were curated by the clients. In that time I learned that while it’s a valuable step in the process, decorating doesn’t bring me the same joy as designing a new addition, or learning about a family’s routine in order to make their entire home function intuitively.
3. What does Reidy Creative do best? Create spaces inspired by your brand.
Every great business has a brand, and that brand speaks a language. My strength is knowing how to combine the right colors, materials, lighting, furniture, and architectural interior forms to make your space and your brand speak the same language.
4. Who are your favorite clients? Those who value details.
There’s nothing as exciting to design for a project as HANDmade architectural details. Working with clients who value those details brings so much joy into our process. It means I can collaborate with skilled creatives to design custom millwork, find perfect tile combinations, customize metal finishes, and elevate everything else that makes a project unique.
5. When should you hire a designer? As soon as possible.
Great designers ask the best questions. We are are passionate about your project as you are, and will tell you when your idea could use some tweaking. Working with a designer to hone your conceptual design is the best way to convey to other team members what your goals are in the space, and to make sure that the vison is followed throughout the project.
