She really saw my vision and guided my choices! It was the easiest and most fun experience working with her! I can’t say enough about her knowledge, her attitude and her passion for design! You will not be disappointed! Interior Design is definitely a special skill and this lady is talented! ### All 23 reviews **★★★★★ — Kathleen Fyock, June 2026** > I've had the pleasure of working alongside Rania on multiple projects, and her creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail is outstanding. She consistently brings fresh ideas, communicates well, and delivers beautiful results that exceed expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and reliable designer. **★★★★★ — Alexis Brasseur, April 2019** > I am so grateful to work in an office that was designed by Rania. An office space really makes an impact on your team's productivity, attitude, and job satisfaction **★ — Lisa McKnight, Jan. 2019** > I hired Rania for advise on bar stools for our new kitchen island. She came to the house measured the space and we picked chairs. When the chairs were delivered they were too tall for the countertop. I spoke with Rania regarding the problem she was a bit put out but she did ask what I wanted to do. I told her they would not work so we sent them back. Eight months later Rania cashed the check claiming she forgot the chairs were returned. My advise to her is next time you should reach out to a customer to ask about an eight month old check. **★★★★★ — Fusion Cabinets, Inc., Jan. 2019** > I referred Rania to a client of mine and they worked so well together we are collaborating on her kitchen next. I highly recommend Rania to all my clients. She is educated, talented, lovely, flexible, easy to work with, and fair and upfront about her fee schedule. Worth every penny! She will save you money. **★★★★★ — Green Tech Termite and Pest Control , Inc., Nov. 2018** > Rania has been so awesome in helping many professionals who are in need of her decorating skills !

She worked within our budget, found great items that were functional and fit my family's needs, and she has a great eye for design. I highly recommend Design by Rania as she is professional and knowledgeable! **★★★★★ — Jamie Marcario, Oct. 2017** > Rania changed my mind about designers. Before working with her on the interior design of my new office space, I thought I would never use a designer (because I have the "touch.") Not only did Rania understand my vision for the space immediately, she expanded on it and brought creative ideas to the project that never would have come to my mind. As a result, our new law firm space feels more creative and inspiring than I could have hoped, which is great for our team and even better for our clients. When this project is complete, I know that my team and I are going to love working in this space, our clients will love visiting it, and out creative neighbors in the Warehouse Arts District will feel warm and welcomed when they stop by for a cup of coffee or tea.
