Her journey to becoming a renowned interior designer is a testament to her determination, passion, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Rose's entry into the field of interior design took an unexpected turn.

Instead of allowing these challenges to deter her, she perceived them as opportunities for personal growth and the development of innovative solutions.

Applying for positions across various states, she secured an immediate job offer from a distinguished company in Maryland.

She was also awarded with "Best Aesthetics," "Best Portfolio Design," and "Best Classic Design." Rose transitioned from employment within a reputable company after a successful eleven-year tenure in Maryland to launch a firm in a co-ownership capacity. Most recently, Rose has chosen to chart a new course in Massachusetts, embarking on an entrepreneurial endeavor to launch her own interior design firm "Tergelie Design Studio". As the founder of her own interior design firm, overflowing with enthusiasm, Rose is eager to share the wealth of design experiences she has accumulated over the years with her clients.

I needed expert help designing my living and dining room. Rose did above and beyond what I asked for and even paid for! From picking the big furnitures and accent furnitures, to picking art pieces, she has an eye for design, colors and patterns that i would not think to pair or match together. She is very attentive and when she said "trust me" I had to trust her. I cannot wait to continue designing my whole house and hire Rose as my designer! **★★★★★ — Winique Green, Oct. 2023** > Rose is truly gifted at her craft. My husband and I knew we needed to update our kitchen, but did not know where to start. Rose has a detailed eye and took care of everything. She selected a few options for everything from lighting to wall paint and curated a custom design that not only pops, but met our unique needs. We wanted to keep our existing counter tops, flooring and cabinets. Her eye for color is amazing. She tied everything together beautifully. > > She came in , measured everything and helped my husband to see the vision. She executed within our timeline and even communicated with the contractor and painters to make sure everything ran smoothly. > We can’t wait to have her back to do our master bedroom! **★★★★★ — HU-583783751, March 2021** > We had a 5 star designer & experience with Rose Bien-Aime at Ethan Allen in Rockville, MD. > > She designed 2 homes for us (furniture, rugs, paint color etc.) and we are thrilled with the results. Rose created a vision & implemented her designs, incorporating our styles perfectly. We worked very well with Rose because she is flexible, adaptable & highly responsive. > > Rose’s customer service was superior. She responded immediately to all text messages & calls from the beginning of the project through delivery & after. She made us feel like we were her only clients. > > Thanks so much Rose for helping us create a stunning home that our family, friends & we will enjoy for many years! **★★★★★ — Drapery Designs, Jan. 2021** > We worked with Ms. Rose in the past. She is definitely top-notch in the design fields; She is very talented, patient, and truly open minded to new things. We love to work with her. **★★★★★ — jnm, June 2020** > I absolutely loved the pictures I saw of Rose's work online on Houzz and Ethan Allen so I decided to message her on Houzz not knowing what to expect. I was concerned that she would not be able to help me with my design since I am in another state but that was not a problem at all. She was fast in responding and quickly compiled a presentation that was incredible. It's like she read my mind! She presented 3D renderings to me and my husband through using several platforms: email, zoom, facetime. Her designs and demeanor demonstrated to me she is truly a professional. I desired a sleek, elegant, sophisticated hotel inspired look and she no doubt delivered that! I can't wait for my furniture to arrive so I can post pictures! Thank you Rose! **★★★★★ — ivyjo, June 2020** > Rose helped us with several projects throughout our home. She is very professional and talented designer. She can work with any budget or project size. Ethan Allen is lucky to have her on their team. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make your house a beautiful home! > > Dr Alan and Ms Ivy Stokes **★★★★★ — Theresa McDougald, April 2020** > i was very fortunate to be assigned Rose T. Bein-Aime when I visited Ethan Allen looking for living room furniture several months ago. Immediately, it was evident that Rose was an outstanding, talented designer. She was very friendly, professional and easy to work with. Moreover, I was impressed with her knowledge of all of Ethan Allen's inventory. Rose took the time to listen to my vision and then used her expertise and knowledge of design t help me make the right selections for my living room. I especially liked that she was not pushy when she shared her ideas with me. After I finalized my selections and placed my order, Rose kept in touch, following up until my furniture was delivered. Exactly one week after my furniture was delivered, I received the Ethan Allen Catalog, Volume 2. To my amazement, the chair on the front cover was made of the same fabric and color of the chairs that Rose helped me select for my living room chairs. How cool was that! **★★★★★ — Dilshad Dhillon, Feb. 2020** > We have been working with Rose since June 2019. We purchased a new home and wanted to make sure our home represented my husband’s and my style while still appropriate for a family of 4 with two young boys. We really wanted style with good quality fabrics that can hold up for a family. We have purchased furniture and accessories in the past with Ethan Allen but our experience with Rose this time around was extremely different. On the first visit Rose took the time to understand what we were looking for. On the second visit, she showed us our 3D room layout and fabrics. And I must say my husband and I loved the layout and the fabrics immediately. We did not waste time discussing different layouts. We knew that we didn’t need to look at more fabrics. We went with Rose’s design and are so happy with our decision. Unlike other designers, Rose gives you honest feedback and will take the time to explain why she designed the room in a particular way and why she chose those exact fabrics for you. Rose has designed our family room and we are now working on our dining room with her. Our living room will be next and with Rose of course! We cannot imagine working with anyone else besides Rose. **★★★★★ — Nicole Woods, Oct. 2019** > Rose is a top-quality designer. She is very honest, creative, extremely patient and truly listens to the client’s vision for the space. I was truly impressed with her hassle-free approach of helping me step out of my comfort zone with patterns that I normally would not consider. The process was very organized that made the transition easy and painless. She has exceeded my expectations of my vision for the space. Overall, I had a great experience and looking forward to working on another project with her. If you want your home or office designed by a 5-star interior designer- Rose Bein-Amie is the designer for you! **★★★★★ — muheather, Oct. 2019** > Rose is an incredible designer. We sought her expertise while designing our new DC area condo. She listened to us and guided us in the right direction every step of the way. Not only is she super talented, she is also very friendly which made the entire process a lot of fun. I would highly recommend her! **★★★★★ — Jie Wei, Oct. 2019** > I enjoy working with Rose! Her design is stunning! And she is really good at working with existing pieces that you would like to keep. She does not push you to buy anything. But you won’t be able to resist her fantastic design. Rose pays attention to her clients’ overall style to get a better understanding what you might like and she is usually right on. > > Ethan Allen’s furniture are very expensive but they really have great quality! Combined with great designers like Rose, the end result is a beautiful home ! **★★★★★ — harrisctmd, July 2019** > Imagine all the satisfaction and amazement that would come with having your favorite HGTV star design a space in your home. Well, that’s what you get when you work with Rose! She is just as good as if not better than ANY designer on HGTV. > > Rose’s work is outstanding! She is truly gifted and an expert in her field. She is versatile and has a wealth of knowledge and creative ideas. Moreover, Rose exudes positive energy! She is lighthearted and jovial yet passionate about her work. Rose works with all budgets, and she can incorporate existing pieces into the design. She will exceed your expectations and go above and beyond to make sure your space is beautiful and functional. > > Overall, I highly recommend Rose and will choose her again and again to work on my projects! She is my designer for life! ## Selected projects - [GLAM UP!!!!-Living Room- Rose T.
