"The
kitchen should be a space
with an aura, full of personality
and warmth," says principal designer Rochelle Kalisch, who
runs Regency Designs and Interiors, Inc. with
her husband and project manager Ruven Kalisch. Rochelle’s
primary challenge as principal designer is to figure out
what
inspires each and every client.
Rochelle
says that when interviewing clients, she encourages them to
express their wishes. She continues, "Often they feel that
their wish list is too extensive for the limited space they
have. My greatest reward is to see the joy on their face when
they receive more than they expected!"

Though
kitchens are the focus of Rochelle’s profession, she has
continued to round out her skills and education. A graduate of
Parson’s School of Interior Design, Rochelle is a multifaceted designer
whose background includes
calligraphy, illustration, oil painting, graphic design and art instruction.
Regarding
design in general, Rochelle allows that the process can be extremely detailed and
complex. "Nevertheless," she says, "it should be
an exciting journey filled with much learning, anticipation and
enjoyment that will last long after the project
has been completed."
