Alia Richards

Alia Richards, senior designer, is a 1992 graduate of San Francisco University with bachelor degrees in both interior design and business administration.

Her premier years of experience were in the bay area before moving to Sacramento in 2007. She has worked on projects ranging from a 14,000 square-foot home to the staff room at the San Jose Museum of Art.

Alia loves every aspect of interior design, from the initial design phase through placement of that last accessory at installation.

“No detail is too small to be overlooked", she believes, "and sometimes it’s the smallest detail that becomes the favorite.”
