Vicki Shafer


Interior Designer

“My work is informed by an MFA in interior design and minor in Art History. I’m inspired by the classical and modern forms found in both architectural design and the Masterworks of painters, sculptors, and potters world-wide.”

Vicki brings international, national, regional, and local design expertise to our team. After completing an MFA in Interior Design at the University of Texas, she worked at a design firm in Japan for several years. While there,  she enjoyed learning about and absorbing the beautiful and diverse design philosophies of many different cultures.

In 2005, Vicki joined RND’s design team. Since that time, she has served as Lead Interior Designer for a wide assortment of renovation and new construction projects, including numerous award-winning historic restoration projects. Her design approach is summarized by the thought process “form follows function.” She believes that no matter how aesthetically pleasing a design, if it doesn’t function and “live well” for its occupants and users, it fails.
