Hola!
I’m ADRIANA RODRIGUEZ
Let me be the first to remind you that everyone deserves a thriving home filled with cherished memories.
Don't settle for just existing in your house – make it your favorite place.
When we think of "interior design," we often imagine fancy spaces that can feel out of reach.
But it’s exactly this perception that inspired me to approach it differently- mindfully.
OUR ROOTS ARE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, YET OUR DESIGN INFLUENCE KNOWS NO BOUNDS -just a virtual click away!
Allow me to take you
down memory lane…
I regret believing that I had to follow the conventional way of providing design services to survive as an "artist". I was 23 and eager for doing it right.
Hear me out when I say, there is no timeline for learning, for having a new refreshed outlook to improving your way of life.
But I know this now, of course!
Don’t worry, this is not a rags-to-riches story, it’s more of a "I should always trust my gut and go for it" kind of story.
You see, I have been fascinated with interiors ever since I could remember.
I know, you hear designers say that all the time. This big dream was rich, coming from a tiny Mexican-American girl living in the East Side of San Jose, California.
I had this big dream of one day
being able to design
extravagant homes with insane budgets!
Where did I get that idea from?
I blame TV and movies, of course! Imagine little old me watching HGTV at age 8.
While my tiny peers were bragging about their Barbie’s dream house, I had to settle for Barbie’s furniture and décor. Ha! I loved it.
I felt so fancy being able to rearrange her home, making it a competition with my sister about whose home décor was better and using my mother as a judge.
Of course, we both won always, lol (I should’ve known better).
Fast forward to my experience in the formal design world, I didn’t really see myself in any of those narratives. But I followed the rules. I worked hard, I didn’t feel safe standing out, the light was a bit dimmed, but I kept going.
Sure, I was accomplished, I had the title, my name on that diploma, I worked alongside architects, contractors, and even engineers, I should be grateful right?
No! I didn’t feel fulfilled.
In fact, I was a bit disillusioned with the industry, to be completely honest.
I felt like quitting. I’ll tell you exactly why.
I felt the pressure that if I wanted to venture off on my own and start my own business, I needed, not should, to cater to people with insane budgets. Let’s be honest basically to people with no budgets, so you can get an idea of the heaviness I felt.
Because that was the only way to have future success in the business, the "luxury industry."
You see, I’m realistic. In the long scheme of things, interior design, as we perceive it, is not a necessity. We don’t need it to survive.
But once I understood
the impact of what a
well-designed
home can do for your
quality of life I knew
I had to spread the love.
This is where my big dreams
I had as a little girl were a
reminder that I have this
gift that I can share and
leave a lasting impact that resonates.
It wasn’t until my freelance journey of working with people with limited budgets, home renters, that longed for a beautiful home that I realized that these are my people.
I want you to feel seen
when you work with me.
Whether you’re a home renter or a home owner, your current frustrations are just temporary.
These are common problems people face in their home and to successfully execute your home project, it stems from your approach.
Instead of doing the conventional way you’re used to seeing interior designers, agencies, or firms provide full services, I'd rather provide value that you can take with you and apply over and over again.
Without feeling like you’ve wasted your money with no direction of how to feel empowered to do it yourself at your own pace.
I just wish I would have realized this earlier before all the headaches that came from it.
But lucky for you by working with me not only are you getting realistic insights that will help move your home aspiration forward, but you can finally feel that relief knowing you’re getting an investment that’s worth your peace and sense of belonging in your home.
