Meet the Designer

From a young age, Raquel knew interior design was more than a career path—it was her calling. With an instinctive understanding of how environments shape our psychological and physiological well-being, she brings a uniquely holistic and biophilic perspective to every space she touches.

Raised in the wilds of rural Pennsylvania, Raquel’s love for nature and beauty was nurtured by her supportive family. She went on to earn her degree from Kent State University’s prestigious College of Architecture and Environmental Design before moving to the sunny shores of Naples, Florida, with her husband, Kyle.

In Naples, Raquel spent years perfecting her craft at one of the region’s most respected design firms—building trusted relationships with builders and artisans, earning her National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) certification, and learning from some of the best in the industry.

Today, as the founder and principal designer of Lush Naples Interior Design, Raquel channels her creativity, technical expertise, and deep love of wellness into luxury interiors that reflect her clients’ personalities and elevate their everyday lives. She believes in sourcing Made in America furnishings and working with local craftsmen, blending elevated design with authenticity and sustainability.

When she isn’t designing unforgettable spaces, Raquel is soaking in nature with her husband and three children, cooking wholesome meals, deepening her faith, and exploring new places.

Every project is her “Super Bowl”—a chance to create a home that feels deeply personal, inviting, and timeless. Raquel can’t wait to help you bring your vision to life and turn your home into a sanctuary your friends and family will love to gather in.

"It is such a unique honor to be entrusted to design a person's most intimate spaces, so I strive to be my client's advocate for the best possible good in every selection and detail."
