THE RKID TEAM
We're Problem Solvers...but We Do It Beautifully
Our fun, collaborative, and highly talented design team collectively brings to the table over 75 yrs. of design experience! We love delving into the details to connect people to their homes through thoughtful and intentional spaces. We utilize design to solve problems, enhance lives, and inspire our clients through beauty. It’s infusing the story of our client’s lives and their legacy within the very walls they live that brings us joy and inspires us!
Renae Keller, ASID, NCIDQ
Principal, Lead Designer & Chief Inspiration Officer
Having never met a hand-block printed linen she wasn’t best friends with, or a grass cloth paper that didn’t make her swoon, Renae believes great design has well-appointed interiors that are comfortable and welcoming, yet also pleasing and beautiful. It’s in the details that Renae reflects her client’s story throughout their home that makes her a master at her craft - and each project so special.
Known for her candor, calming presence and infectious spirit, Renae strives to bring more ease, more joy and more wonder for all to enjoy, and she believes a well-designed home can do all that.
Renae’s attentive, yet collaborative approach along with twenty-six years of design experience and vendor partnerships has her trusted by homeowners, builders, architects and craftspeople alike.
Renae passionately believes in honoring memories both new and old by encouraging her clients to use what they have and all the things that make them happy. Sparking her motto,
“Burn the candles, use the china…”
LuAnne Silvia, NCIDQ
Bachelor of Science in Interior Design
Interior Designer, Project Manager & Operations Ninja
From a childhood fascination for rearranging furniture to an established career as a designer, LuAnne has always loved the thrill of problem-solving through purposeful design. She never sees obstacles as problems, only situations that can be worked through. LuAnne is incredibly curious and genuinely interested in how people occupy a space and is a wizard at thinking through construction details and creating functional spaces.
Outside the studio, you’ll most likely find LuAnne outdoors hiking, rollerblading or capturing memories of her travels with family through photography. She credits her love of interior design to never wanting to be inside. So if she finds her way indoors, it has to be a pleasant place to be!

Tonya Bushey
Design Curator & Captain of All Things
Tonya can easily be described as the cog that keeps RKID running smoothly! Behind-the-scenes, you’ll likely find her placing orders, putting together proposals, and assisting in any way to keep the overall client experience pleasant and stress-free. Tonya’s passion for making homes more beautiful comes from her deep appreciation for the importance of family, friends, faith, food…and wine! But most importantly, quality time spent together.
