THE DESIGNER

With a creative foundation rooted in fashion, Raelena Vasquez began her design journey at FIDM Los Angeles, where she developed an early appreciation for style, proportion, color, and detail. Her passion for creating beautiful, expressive spaces later led her back to school to study Interior Design at UCR.

Today, as the founder and Principal Designer of Swank Design, Raelena brings a distinctly fashion-influenced perspective to interiors. Her signature approach is modern luxury—refined, layered, and never confined to a single aesthetic. From contemporary to Spanish, traditional, or transitional spaces, she thoughtfully interprets each style through a fresh and elevated lens.

Known for mixing timeless elements with unexpected details, rich materials, custom furnishings, and moments of color, Raelena creates homes that feel sophisticated yet deeply personal. Her goal is never to repeat a look, but to create a home with its own point of view—distinctive, luxurious, and uniquely reflective of the people who live there.
