Founded in 2011, Athena Rutigliano Interiors is a full-service interior design studio driven by a passion for timeless, thoughtful interiors. With a background rooted in fashion and luxury, founder Athena Rutigliano brings a refined perspective and a keen eye for detail to every project.

A graduate of Fashion Institute of Technology, Athena began her career at various companies, including Dolce & Gabbana, where she worked closely with North American department and specialty stores, selling the brand’s women’s collections.

Inspired by travel, architecture, and the ever-evolving world of design, Athena Rutigliano has always had a love for interiors. She continuously draws inspiration from emerging designers, artisans, and vendors around the world, curating spaces that feel layered, sophisticated, and effortlessly livable.

All of these experiences shaped her understanding of craftsmanship, texture, scale, and the art of creating environments that feel both elevated and deeply personal.

Since launching the firm, Athena has been dedicated to creating homes and commercial spaces that reflect each client’s lifestyle while balancing beauty, comfort, and functionality. Every project is approached with a collaborative spirit and a commitment to timeless design.
