Rina is an ASID (American Society of Interior Design) certified interior designer who holds a Bachelor of Science degree from one of the strongest interior design programs in the area, The University of Bridgeport. Unlike many others, Rina is a designer who knew her intended career path from a very young age. As a teenager she was constantly redesigning her bedroom; repainting, rearranging, and even stapling bed sheets to her walls as if to upholster them-a make-shift version of what she does now.
Rina isn't your regular one-stop designer, she does it all. After graduating with Cum Laude status in 1987, she hopped right into the design world working for the highly renowned Barbara Ostrom. Just three years later she ventured on her own, opening a well-respected firm, Higher Limit Design, Inc. Which coincided with her retail showroom Rina's Armoire.
No project is too big for her because her knowledge goes beyond the creative. She regularly collaborates with builders and architects to ensure any project she's on comes together seamlessly.

The clients were looking for a comfortable size master bathroom that felt spacious & had all the fundamental elements a luxury master bathroom requires.

The client was interviewed and asked to provide in detail what they wanted in the master bathroom along with any notion of colors or materials they were considering.

The goal for this project was to update a very traditional, stuffy living room and create a more modern living space perfect for everyday living and entertaining.

More specifically, the wood floors were refinished, and new area rugs were chosen for the space.
Custom trim and millwork was added to enhance the essence of the room.

The sought-after interior aesthetic was a studio that was inspired by the culture of India and included intricate, but also zen decor.
