Renu Mathias Interiors was founded in 2019 with the intention of bringing a unique perspective to the diverse design community in the Southeast, and has since expanded nationally. With a 20 year career in brand and consumer marketing across both Fortune 100 fashion companies and start-ups in New York City and San Francisco, Renu’s approach is guided by her training as a brand creator, creative designer and art director in the business world. Renu’s ability to develop a cohesive vision for her clients is as much inherent as learned from her work bridging products and consumers through a single brand identity.

Born and raised in Iowa, Renu’s warmth and approachability reflect her midwest sensibilities. A first generation Indian-American with a passport stamped in over 20 countries, Renu is profoundly shaped by various cultures. Her passion for design has been cultivated through diverse life experiences and cultural influences. With a discerning eye and appreciation for beauty in various forms and environments, Renu’s desire for discovery serves as an essential foundation in the creative process of designing engaging spaces. Designing homes through this lens, Renu is able to see what is meaningful to her clients and ultimately, create for her clients and their lifestyle.

Pursue the Craft, Renu Mathias Interiors’ philosophy, is grounded in thoughtfully partnering with local artisans from the United States to indigenous communities around the globe — and sharing their story. It is Renu’s hope that by unveiling the humanity behind the form, the power of story will unlock empathy, and help bridge some of the gaps across cultures today. Channeling design in this way, Renu hopes to connect her clients own unique stories and life experiences to the broader world around them.

Renu is a small business owner in Chapel Hill, NC where she lives with her husband and two young boys. Renu is happiest exploring new places and bringing people together.
