Blue Streak Interior Design

Josepha Rood

I should have known when I chose bicentennial toile curtains from the JC Penney catalog for my bedroom at 8 years old that I wanted to be ​an interior designer…and later, when I should have been doing masters’ homework but instead I was shopping for cabinet pulls until 3am? ​That should have been a clue. But I studied History and Information Management, and I worked in IT for a long time.

Then a few years ago, we did an extensive interior and exterior remodel of our home; after nearly a year, I wasn’t ready for it to end, and ​that’s when I began to suspect full-time interior design was my calling. I quit my job to try it out with an expert designer…and then I knew ​for sure. So I started Blue Streak Interior Design and went back to school.

While that may sound like a zigzag of a career path, there is a through-line of helping people figure out what they want and need, bringing ​teams together, being conscientious about communication and delivering on promises.

And now I’m thrilled to help people imagine what can be - to feel truly connected and happy in their homes and businesses every day.
