My Wild RideI am Melanie Raver, Owner and Lead Designer. My office is located In San Diego California. I do offer E-Design services for those who are not local. Please reach out to me via email at Melanie@raveinteriordesign.com or via my contact page on this site. I look forward to hearing from you!
Currently I am on journey to renovate/redesign every room in my house. Because you know...I have like a million dollars and I have ALL the time in the world. Said no one. Ever. I am a busy stay at home mom to three young girls ages 9, 6, and 4. I am a wife..mother..traveler...artist...amateur photographer and an avid adventure seeker! I generally think I am the Boss "B" around my house...cause y'all know I keep this ship afloat! This journey, IS about stepping back into Interior Design...but this...IS more importantly a journey about me letting go of my doubts. Allowing myself, to take some time to foster my passions!!! As my youngest begins to grow out of her babyhood stage...I am choosing to not be left behind in the kiddos dust...dragging and digging my heels in....for just more time as young babies. I am choosing to DO something for myself! This adventure is all about taking risks and moving outside my comfort zone. Its time that I step out beyond my role of mother and a wife, and take some risks and welcome some challenges. Im excited to see what lies ahead for me and my little tribe! Follow me on my journey of navigating through life and motherhood and everything in between....one room at a time! |
My RootsI grew up in Seattle Washington. My father is a musician and my mother is an artist. I grew up surrounded by music and art, I guess you could say being creative was in my blood.
I have always enjoyed photography, painting and Interior Design. I attended UCSB and received a Bachelor Degree with a major in Law and Society. I then attended the Design Institute of San Diego where I received my Bachelor Degree in Interior Design. Upon graduation I worked for a nationwide developer as an in house design consultant for all redevelopment projects. |
