About Renae

Renae Keller is the principle of RKID, an award-winning and full-service interior design firm in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and beyond, specializing in new construction and large remodels.

Seeing the potential in every home, Renae uses design to solve problems, enhance lives, and inspire her clients through beauty. To Renae, great design style is like great fashion style - it’s all about grace. Renae applies her graceful style across a variety of architectural genres.

Renae has been designing interiors for over 20 years. She is NCIDQ Certified, holds Professional Membership status in ASID, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. Renae and her team are known for thinking several steps ahead so that clients do not have to.

One particular memory sparked Renae’s design path: her grandmother’s drop-front, walnut wood desk. Sitting next to a harvest gold, rotary phone, this much-loved and versatile (her grandmother kept her playing cards in it) mid-century desk inspired Renae very early on. In this desk, she saw art and functionality come together in harmony, and today that is the idea behind Renae’s view that furniture should be functional, while also beautiful. This memory, and many like them, prompted Renae’s motto, “Burn the candles, use the china.”

Kind words from our clients...

"I loved Renae the moment I met her. She has an innate ability to see my vision and work with it.... as she develops the overall vision of the project. She has so many connections, there is nothing she cannot do or have done for you. On a personal note, she is not only a gifted designer, she is now a friend. She is delightful to work with, down to earth and very funny. I looked forward to every single meeting. She is the real deal. I give her the highest recommendation."
