Blake R.
Interior Designer | Hospitality, Retail + Commercial Spaces
I’m Blake. I’ve spent the last 10 years designing hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, residences, and just about everything in between, including several years with award-winning hospitality design firms. That background shaped the way I think about interiors as more than a collection of nice things. I’m interested in the whole experience of a space: how it flows, how it feels, what people notice, and what makes it memorable. I can take a project from a loose idea through concept, space planning, FF&E, finishes, visualization, and construction documentation. I’m equally comfortable developing the design direction or getting into the weeds of a drawing set when that’s what the project needs. My work includes: • Hospitality, restaurant + boutique commercial design • Residential interiors • Concept development + creative direction • Space planning • FF&E + finish selections • 3D visualization + rendered elevations • AutoCAD + construction documentation • Design support for studios + developers I like spaces with a point of view. Thoughtful, a little unexpected, and designed for the way they’re actually going to be used. If you have a project in the works, send it my way. I’m always happy to take a look.
