ROCHELLE COTE
Principal / Senior Designer
Rochelle loves to create beautiful things. She gets inspiration from the large prairie sky, her travels and even from a walk in the park with her family. Rochelle is a graduate of the Mount Royal Interior Design and the SAIT Architectural Technologist programs. She has been in the industry since 1997 and during that time, worked for another high end residential designer. After having her daughter, Rochelle decided to branch out on her own to create RCID. She loves the opportunity that owning her own business brings and the chance to work with a great team helping clients create their perfect space.
