DESIGN TEAM

RVR Interior Design is a full-service design company which specializes in both commercial and residential interiors.

RVR stands for Ria Velasco-Reyes, a licensed Interior Designer who began her career as a designer of bespoke furniture pieces. Her design philosophy has evolved over the years. Now, it is rooted in the belief that great design comes from a collaboration between the client and the designer, combined with a conceptual+strategic+innovative (CSI) approach, and making sure that social, cultural, environmental, and economic factors are all taken into consideration.

RVR also adheres to Designer Ilse Crawford's perspective that human needs and desires are at the center of all that they do. This means that as a team, their goal is to consciously design homes and spaces that make sense for the people who will live and work in them.

RVR's team is composed of young, passionate, and professional Interior Designers.

Junior Designer

Gracielle is a cat person who loves coffee and anything matcha. Being an introvert, you can most likely find her listening to music or a podcast. She dreams of travelling to Japan with her family as if it's their second home. If she were an interior space, it would be a simple but cozy café with notable hints of whimsy and pastel colors.

Mica is an enthusiast of cultural heritage and dreams that one day Filipino design will be recognised globally. She's fond of moon and sunrise and in awe of nature.

A perfect day for her involves coffee, jazz music and a good lengthy book.

THE DESIGN PROCESS

With nimble fingers and a keen eye for detail, she crafts vibrant wonders, blending intricate patterns that mirrors her artistic soul. Fueled by aromatic coffee and inspired by melodies, her world is a harmonious blend of textures, flavors, and rhythms, where crochet threads weave seamlessly with life's simple pleasures.

Erickah is highly interested in learning and making things. A few of her favorite things include playful interiors, music, dogs, flowers, and of course, coffee. During slow days, she likes catching up on TV shows, creating watercolor portraits, reading a book, or doing her nails as a form of therapy.
