ABOUT

Rachel Ruffing

Designer, Interiors

As a Project Designer, Rachel prioritizes functionality, comfort, and beauty in every space she creates. She sees the home as a personal sanctuary and is deeply committed to building trust with her clients. Whether through hand sketches or work in Revit, Rachel develops thoughtful color palettes and furniture schemes that reflect her clients’ unique styles.

Her passion for design is rooted in childhood memories of annual trips to Boston and growing up in a pre–Civil War home—experiences that gave her a deep appreciation for historic charm and a fascination with how new builds can complement and contrast with older architecture.

Rachel graduated summa cum laude from Ohio University with a BFA in Interior Architecture and a minor in Studio Art. Her senior thesis, HER Health—a holistic, trauma-informed women’s health clinic—was voted Best Design of her graduating class by both faculty and peers.

Outside of work, Rachel channels her creativity as a freelance artist, specializing in portraiture using oil paints and graphite.

KG culture, mission + values

At Knickerbocker Group, Rachel appreciates the collaborative spirit that drives each project forward. She’s thrilled to be part of a talented team, with each member contributing their own creative ideas to help every project thrive.

Life in Maine

Staying until sunset on Crescent Beach, with local pizza and the sea breeze filling you up. Driving through Cathedral Pines, golden sunlight filtering through the trees. Feeling at peace in nature—from the ocean to the woods—and knowing it’s always there when you need it.
