Raquel Swartz
Principal & Founder
Educated at Barnard College and the Rhode Island School of
Design, Raquel holds a Bachelor’s of Art in History and a
Master’s of Design in Interior Architecture, Adaptive Reuse.
She combines the two focuses by considering a site’s history to
better design its future. It is a designer’s responsibility to create
consciously, and thus Raquel is continuously researching
innovative materials to incorporate into her projects and
thoughtful designers with whom to collaborate. Raquel has
also guest lectured at the Rhode Island School of Design and is
passionate about education.
When Raquel isn’t working she is spending time with family,
walking at the beach, or baking.
