Meet Our Team
The RWD Team
Led by Rebecca Ward, our Sacramento-based studio brings nearly two decades of interior design experience to full-service remodels, furnishings, and whole-home transformations.
Known for thoughtful planning, layered interiors, and a client experience rooted in care, we design homes that feel refined, functional, and deeply personal — supporting the way our clients gather, recharge, work, and move through everyday life.
Our work is guided by a simple belief: your surroundings matter. When a home is designed with beauty, intention, and ease, it has the power to support how you live, feel, and show up in the world.
Rebecca Ward
Principal Designer & Founder
Rebecca Ward is the founder and principal designer of Rebecca Ward Design, an award-winning Sacramento interior design studio. She creates refined, functional, and deeply personal homes for clients who want beauty, comfort, and ease in daily life.
Rebecca graduated from the interior design program at CSU Sacramento. She is also a California Certified Interior Designer and an NCIDQ certificate holder. With more than 20 years of experience, she brings both creative vision and technical expertise to every project.
Her Everyday Luxury philosophy guides the way she designs. At its heart, this approach is about creating homes that look beautiful and live well. As a result, each space supports the way clients gather, recharge, work, entertain, and move through their days.
In addition to client projects, Rebecca is passionate about mentoring emerging interior designers. She launched My Design Mentor in 2021 to support new designers and career shifters entering the industry. She also hosts the Design Curious Podcast, where she shares honest insight into the interior design career path and business ownership.
Rebecca continues to invest in the local design community through gatherings that encourage connection, collaboration, and growth.
Outside the studio, Rebecca enjoys making music with her husband, spending time with her two children, and sharing life with their two cats and lively labradoodle.

Associate Designer
Lillian Janik brings a thoughtful eye, calm presence, and strong design sensibility to the Rebecca Ward Design team. As an Associate Designer, she helps create refined, cohesive, and deeply personal homes for our clients.
Lillian graduated from CSU Sacramento with a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design. During her final semester, she joined Rebecca Ward Design as an intern. From the beginning, she showed strong creativity, attention to detail, and a natural understanding of the design process.
Today, Lillian supports interior design projects through design development, sourcing, documentation, and project details. She helps bring each design together in a way that feels polished, functional, and complete.
Throughout the creative process, Lillian and Rebecca work closely together. First, they listen carefully to each client’s needs, preferences, and way of living. Then, they use that insight to guide the design direction and project details.
Her collaborative approach helps each project feel both beautifully considered and thoughtfully executed. As a result, clients benefit from a design experience that feels organized, personal, and aligned with the overall vision.
Outside the studio, Lillian enjoys watercolor painting, reading, and connecting with friends and family.
