About

Hey there! I’m Risse, an interior designer and real estate agent passionate about turning houses into dream homes. Whether you're starting from scratch, or looking to refresh the space you live in, I take pride in providing a service to my clients that will enhance their everyday life through beautiful and functional interior design.

My path to interior design wasn’t exactly straightforward, but I grew up with my dad owning a construction business. I remember loving going to model homes with him, and rearranging and repainting my bedroom was a monthly hobby.

I attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Technology in Los Angeles and after graduating, I moved back to New Jersey and worked as a Technical Designer for a brand in NYC. I loved figuring out fit problems - much like spatial planning!

After I met my husband while on vacation, I made a bold move to Australia, where he’s from. While there, my love for modern and coastal interiors really ignited as I found a career in wholesale bathroom ceramics. This lead me to enrolling in interior design school where I refined my skills in Photoshop, SketchUp, and spatial planning.

After 5 amazing years living abroad in Australia, we moved back to NJ in 2019. I worked with my dad in his construction business, helping design, stage, and sell their projects. This lead me to starting my own business and getting my real estate license — now working with my own dream clients on their dream homes! I currently live in Point Pleasant, NJ with my husband Dean, 2 kids, and our dog, Ozzy.
