Trinidad
Rodrigez
Interior Designer
Being born
and raised in sunny California has given Trinidad a
calm, relaxing and eclectic design style. Graduating
from Westwood College and earning her Bachelors Degree
in Interior Design, she has gained knowledge to create
functional and appealing interiors for every budget
and every lifestyle. Her loving parents were the inspiration
for her to explore the world of design. Her father,
with his knowledge of construction, interested her in
the creation of a home and her mother, a seamstress,
inspired her creatively with fabric and color combinations.
This combination has given Trinidad the capability to
analyze the structure of a project while never losing
sight of its artistic beauty and what can be accomplished.
Trinidad has the ability to take any challenge and create
a unique environment for its owner by combining a mixture
of the client’s needs and wants and her unique
flair. She believes every room needs to have something
old, which can represent history – something new,
to show personality and something eye catching to make
people stop and take notice. |
