The Design Team at RIKB Design Build

For over 35 years, RIKB Design Build has set the standard for innovative design and exceptional craftsmanship across Southern New England. Renowned for their award-winning expertise and creative approach, RIKB transforms homes into spaces as functional as they are beautiful, delivering inspired solutions for every remodeling project.

“We believe a home should reflect the homeowner’s personality and style and be designed to function for the way they live,” says Tanya Donahue, owner and president. “I’m honored whenever a client chooses us to bring their vision to life.”

At the heart of RIKB’s success is collaboration. Every project begins with a commitment to meeting clients exactly where they are in life. Whether it’s a young family creating a gathering space, homeowners who love entertaining, those caring for aging loved ones, or individuals planning for their future, RIKB designs with intention. Their team crafts spaces that adapt to unique needs while blending creativity, technical expertise, and attention to detail.

RIKB’s talented designers—Tanya Donahue, Emily High, Stephanie Castellucci, Kelly May Enos, Ellen Ovalles, Kingsley Catalucci, Sandra Michaels, Erika Pearson, and Kim Gammell—serve as the bridge between a client’s vision and the finished space. They are exceptional listeners and problem solvers who work closely with clients to bring their ideas to life. Partnering with the technical design and production teams, the designers ensure every element of the project reflects the client’s lifestyle and aesthetic.

“Our designers are the cornerstone of our process,” says Donahue, “Their ability to combine vision, integrity, and precision allows us to build beautiful spaces and lasting relationships with our clients.”

From kitchen makeovers and spa-like bathrooms to whole-home renovations and multi-generational spaces, RIKB’s portfolio reflects the diversity of its clients’ needs. They also excel in smaller-scale projects, offering everything from cosmetic updates to small additions. The team’s Design-Build approach integrates every aspect of the process—design, technical planning, and construction—under one roof, providing clients with one point of contact and a seamless, stress-free experience from start to finish.
