Rachel Simmons…Design Diva
Designer / Modern Design Nerd
Rachel has been designing in the Valley since 2003 with experience in kitchen and bath design, furniture design, and construction documentation. She is super outgoing, a little too fastidious, highly motivated, and spends WAY too much time in the gym (hey, the stair master breeds creative thinking!).
She started this business after becoming obsessed with modern architecture during grad school and now works to convince everyone else she’s right. Some tidbits that may make her qualified for your project…or to bore you with useless knowledge at the wine bar…
- Published articles based on modern design, green design, recent-past preservation, and other mid-century design issues.
- Created a “post-war color pallet” for each year 1947-1965 coming soon to moderncolorsource.com!
- Complied a highly-classified, state-of the-art, design database of modern fabric, finishes, and retailers and manufacturers of modern products.
- Reads minds.
- Through historic research has gained a unique understanding of the manufacturing techniques, materials, and design of mid-century architecture and interiors.
- Teaches design classes in the areas of space planning, color and perspective rendering, architectural building systems, and modern architecture/furniture
