Raquelle began her career in New York City in fashion, launching her own namesake line, manufactured exclusively in NYC and carried by luxury retailers nationwide. Clients included Sarah Jessica Parker, Eva Longoria and Danica Patrick. That line later evolved into Darling, a West Village boutique that became a neighborhood fixture for 14 years, recongized by Time Out New York as one of the city’s best.

Building on her background in fashion, Raquelle transitioned into interior design, spending six years as an associate designer at a well-known firm in Brooklyn, NYC - JMorris Design, specializing in iconic townhouse transformations. She then moved to San Diego where she spent three years as a construction project manager, overseeing high end residential renovations and gaining deep expertise.

Creating spaces that are not only beautiful but functional; spaces that inspire joy, comfort and connection for those who inhabit them.
