Welcome to RD Living Design — I’m Ruzie Degirmenci, and I specialize in architectural illustration, interior design, and fine art. My work reflects a deep love for color, form, and storytelling, which led me to create this studio as a way to unite all the facets of my creative practice.

With a background in romance languages and theatre, I approach design with a deep appreciation for culture, narrative, and emotional connection. These influences allow me to bring an intuitive understanding of storytelling to every project, making each design not just visually captivating, but emotionally resonant. I’m a certified architectural illustrator with a degree in Interior Design and additional studies in Green Design. I also hold the LEED AP BD+C credential and am working toward the WELL AP, both of which support my holistic approach and commitment to sustainability throughout the design process.

I work with interior designers, architects, and clients who are seeking thoughtful, elevated visuals—whether for a project in progress or a piece to live with every day. I believe a masterful design is both personal and timeless, and I take immense joy in transforming ideas into artfully rendered visualizations that truly resonate.

Design Forward!
