Raquel Garcia is Cuban-American, born in New York City. She attributes her love for design and fashion to her father’s passion in the arts and Culture. Raquel has lived in both Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic before graduating from the University of Saint Joseph, an all women’s college in West Hartford. She is bilingual and is now settled in Fairfield County along the Long Island Sound. Raquel is self-taught. She brings personal comfort and everyday elegance to all her design work. Raquel’s relaxed style brings ease to her collaborative, design-boutique method. With use of texture, accents of color, and only hand-selected, edited materials, Raquel let’s one’s personality express itself through the design of one’s home, in a natural yet intentional manner. Her impressive portfolio has had a strong influence in Fairfield County for over a decade. Raquel was nominated for a 2012 A-List At Home Award for the Living Spaces category. Her work has been published in both Fairfield and At Home Magazines.
